Arson: The Federal Role in Arson Prevention and Control. Overview. Report to the Congress

摘要

Sixty-seven recommendations for action to halt America's spiraling arson problem are part of this report. Congress requested that the U.S. Fire Administration study and report on what the Federal role should be in assisting state and local governments in arson prevention and control. The findings are based on an extensive analysis of existing arson research and programs. The 67 recommendations fall into four categories: management of arson prevention and control; investigation and prosecution of arson; reduction of economic incentives in arson; and understanding the psychology and behavior of arsonists.
