Written in Defoe's characteristic concise and persuasive style, the book combines practical advice with sharp social commentary, reflecting the author's keen observations of urban life in the 18th century. Defoe's work can be seen as a precursor to the modern crime prevention literature, providing insights into the strategies and mindset required to address criminal behaviors in an urban environment.
