EDITED TRANSCRIPTS OF TWELVE ADDRESSES AND REPORTS PRESENTED AT THE SEMINAR ARE REPRODUCED IN THIS VOLUME. AMONG THE TOPICS DISCUSSED WERE THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO CRIME, IDENTIFICATION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY PROGRAMS, AND THE ROLE OF NON-POLICE SECURITY PERSONNEL. SEVERAL PROGRESS REPORTS FROM NILECJ RESEARCH STUDIES ARE ALSO INCLUDED. THE APPENDICES CONTAIN A LISTING OF MAJOR NILECJ STUDIES AS WELL AS THE INITIAL DRAFT OF A MODEL SECURITY ORDINANCE DESIGNED TO INSURE COMPLIANCE WITH MINIMAL SAFETY STANDARDS. (SNI ABSTRACT)
