Crime prevention was unaffected by risk-based prevention characteristic of much nineteenth-century government of this domain. The development of risk-based fire prevention, by contrast, was substantially in place at the turn of the twentieth century, promoted by the convergence of insurance and other interests in securing property. Rather than seeing crime prevention as exemplifying the move toward the "risk society" it may be better understood as a case in which neo-liberal governance and insurance technologies transformed a domain of governance that had been unusually resistant to risk-based approaches. cOxforddMay 2007vVol. 47, n. 3tBritish Journal of Criminology (The)x0007-0955pp. 373-389 aSOCIEDADE E CRIME aSEGURANÇA URBANA aPOLÍTICA CRIMINAL aPOLÍTICA POLICIAL aMETODOLOGIAS aREINO UNIDO aO'MALLEYbPat aHUTCHINSONbSteven
