The authors introduce the papers contained within this special edition and summarise their relevance to crime-proofing. The paper discusses progress made within this field in the decade prior to Project Marc and makes recommendations to ensure that the ideas move forward. Keywords Crime-proofing - Electronic products and services - Risk assessment- Standards - Theft This special edition of the European Journal of Criminal Policy and Research seeks to introduce the findings of a recent EU-funded project to develop Mechanisms for Assessing the Risk of Crime due to products in order to proof them at an EU level (hereafter refered to as Project MARC). This is supplemented by even more recent work informed by the approach adopted by MARC (including the difficulties it encountered). It is hoped thereby to provide a basis of information and theory to assist those working within the field of designing out crime to advance on Project MARC and to benefit from its hard-won results. A companion special issue of the journal deals with the complementary strand of MARC work, namely the attempt to crime-proof legislation. The crime-proofing strand of Project MARC sought to develop a mechanism to assess the risk of theft of electronic products and to take steps to make that mechanism operational. In practice, this meant reviewing existing crime risk assessment mechanisms, Dr. Rachel Armitage is a Senior Research Fellow at the Applied Criminology Centre, University of Huddersfield; Prof. Ken Pease is Visiting Professor at Loughborough University.
