ABSTRACT

The evidence-based crime prevention, which is a new paradigm, is a scientific revolution in the field of crime prevention. The evidence-based crime prevention searches for scientific evidence depending on evidence-based research methods and assesses a various of crime prevention programs in order to identify what works, what does not work, what is promising and what is unknown in crime prevention programs. The evidence-based crime prevention applies the Maryland Scientific Methods Scale, Meta-Analysis Method, Cost-Benefit Analysis and other scientific assessment methods and provides the simplest communicating way among the policymakers, scholars and practitioners. At the aspect of corrections and rehabilitation of offenders, the evidence-based crime prevention asserts that we should reduce the punitive punishment and integrate the imprisonment with punitive alternatives and adjunctive interventions in order to narrow the gap between scientific research and judicial practices on the basis of scientific assessment. In addition, it is extremely significant and valuable that introducing the evidence-based crime prevention to China could normalize the activities of crime prevention, increase efficiency of crime prevention, fulfill the equal concept of crime prevention, establish scientific crime prevention assessment system and promote the rational disposition of crime prevention resources. It could improve the crime prevention system of China and introduce the education and rehabilitation in China to the scientific track.
