Abstract
Crime is not the only thing that radiates; in many circumstances, place managers can radiate safety. That is the subject of this chapter. We begin by clarifying and expanding upon Jane Jacobs’ misunderstood ideas of eyes on the street and constant succession of eyes. We then show how place managers expand safety from their places: they operate a safe place; they operate multiple places; they work with other place managers; and they coordinate with other institutions, private and public. If place managers can radiate safety, then the answer to why some neighborhoods have more crime than other areas may have to do with how place managers behave within neighborhoods rather than how well residents get along.
