The ‘Making the Case’ series is designed to showcase the policy impact of social science research. Previous editions have focused on Wellbeing, Ageing and Sustainability, the Environment and Climate Change. The publication and launch of Making the Case – Crime were supported by the British Psychological Society and SAGE publishers.
