Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
Although the use of ‘nudges’ to influence decision-making and behaviour continues to be widely adopted by social policymakers, such as encouraging increases in organ donations, it is yet to get a similar foothold in the thinking and practice of reducing crime and policing.
