Preventing Repeat Residential Burglary Victimization
This chapter reviews evaluations of the prevention of repeat residential burglary. These evaluations are a subset of the evaluations relating to the prevention of repeat victimization. The review methodology aims to follow that of the systematic review process proposed by the Campbell Collaboration, which has produced a series of recent reviews including, Farrington and Welsh (2002) and the set of reviews edited by Farrington and Welsh (2001). In keeping with that format, the authors acknowledge a possible interest: We have both previously worked on repeat victimization prevention efforts and elsewhere contended that preventing repeat victimization is a potentially attractive crime prevention strategy.
Situational crime prevention and Public Safety Canada’s crime-prevention programme
This study examines the work undertaken by Canada’s National Crime Prevention Centre (NCPC) under the auspices of the Public Safety Canada. NCPC operates with a social development approach to preventing crime, focussing largely on small pilot projects that work with at-risk youth. We suggest that this is a rather narrow definition of crime prevention and that it may not necessarily be an optimal strategy for all crime preventions in Canada. In particular, many international crime and safety organizations suggest the need for integrated approaches in crime prevention. In addition, there is an array of evidence-based situational crime prevention (SCP) strategies from which Canada might benefit. SCP has a history of success in designing out a wide range of crimes from credit card fraud to car theft and burglary. It is proposed that, at minimum, a more inclusive crime-prevention programme that incorporates SCP would produce a significant net benefit to the safety of Canadians.
The development of a liquid antihistaminic preparation with sustained release properties.
The relative capacity of several cation exchange resins to adsorb methapyrilene has been determined by an in vitro method. It was demonstrated that methapyrilene adsorbed on sulfonic acid cation exchange resin possessed pharmacological activity approximating that of a solution of methapyrilene hydrochloride as measured by the protection against histamine-induced asthma in the intact guinea pig. It is suggested that the use of ion exchange resins as carriers of drugs in liquid dosage forms may be useful in sustained release preparations.
