Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) School Assessment (CSA)

The purpose of the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) School Assessment (CSA) is to rate the physical parts of the school which may have an impact on youth fear and aggressive behavior. This rating scale is based upon School CPTED Principles.CDC is grateful for the expertise and commitment of Carter & Carter Associates.Suggested citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Measuring crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in shopping centers

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is routinely implemented in development and planning to deter crime and to prevent opportunity for criminals. This study focused on shopping malls and shopping centers as they are important places where Americans spend a lot of their leisure time. There are a variety of activiites occuring at the malls as well as many types of crimes. This study examined the level of CPTED used in shopping centers in the assessment of public fear of crime

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design

This chapter is concerned with the extent to which the individual design features of the built environment (such as a house, school, shopping mall or hospital), as well as the natural environment surrounding those buildings, impact upon crime risk, and subsequently, how these features can be altered to reduce that level of risk. This approach is known as Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). CPTED draws upon opportunity theories that assert that those involved in, or considering, criminality are influenced (to some extent) by their immediate environmen

Design, crime and the built environment

Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a method of reducing crime through the design and manipulation of the built environment. Based upon the Opportunity Theories of crime, CPTED focuses upon blocking opportunities for criminal behaviour through subtle techniques to maximise informal surveillance, guardianship and maintenance, to minimise through movement and to set standards of physical security that are proportionate to crime risk. This chapter will discuss the principles of CPTED and the theories from which it evolved. It will explore the effectiveness of these principles, both individually and combined, in reducing crime, before exploring how CPTED is applied in practice

Small business against crime: situational strategies in action

Opening address presented at the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) 2001 conference, Brisbane, 24-27 September 2001, by Adam Graycar, Director, Australian Institute of Criminology. Co-authored by Kiah McGregor and Toni Makkai. This speech is made available under the CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Making crime harder to commit is part of the fundamentals of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. CPTED refers to "the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear of crime and the incidence of crime, and to an improvement in the quality of life". When we look at the bigger picture we know that most places have no crime, and most crime is highly concentrated in a relatively small number of places. At the present time research includes crime prevention against small business, much of which is related to the environment

THE INVESTIGATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY OF LADIES PARK USING CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (CPTED) APPROACH - CASE STUDY- QOM NARGES PARK

Environmental security enhancement (based on people understanding about their surroundings) is one of the most important approaches which are considered by advanced societies in the social sciences, management and “environment designing” in order to improve the use of “ladies parks”. Safety as an objective and subjective receiving is arising from the structure and layout of the environment. Therefore, to increase it, required criteria and standards should be considered for designing the ladies parks. The aim of this study is to investigate the environmental security of Ladies Park by using Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach. This is a kind of descriptive and analytical study based on survey using inventory technique. This study expresses the problems of ladies parks by using CPTED approach. The statistical population of this research is Narges Park (Qom, Iran), the first park which has been constructed in the city for women. The results of the study show that women in their exclusive parks look for relaxation away from the masculine environment. The existence of environmental security and preventing people from seeing inside the park is one of the key factors which can increase the parks privacy and create peace of mind for users of the park. To increase the level of security in our environment, this study suggests the spaces proper design according to social cultural and ideological conditions of the city and park landscaping using Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach.Environmental security enhancement (based on people understanding about their surroundings) is one of the most important approaches which are considered by advanced societies in the social sciences, management and “environment designing” in order to improve the use of “ladies parks”.

Crime Prevention Practice Paper 1: An Overview of CPTED DCPs and Related Council Policies in NSW

Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is increasingly adopted by councils across New South Wales (NSW). This can be done in a variety of ways. Introducing Development Control Plans (DCPs) focusing on CPTED or integrating CPTED into larger DCPs are two key ways that this has been achieved. This Crime Prevention Practice Paper provides an overview of some of the methods used by councils to embed CPTED into local planning regimes and provides examples of documents developed by various NSW councils

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design and Crime Rates in Apartment Settings

This comparative study has employed qualitative and quantitative methods to examine the implications of the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) theory. Due to significant inconsistencies in prior research, the effectiveness of CPTED in reducing crime rates was examined. Research analysis has examined the elements of CPTED present at three sample apartment complexes located in a large western city and determined if the apartment settings with physical elements consistent with CPTED experienced lower crime rates. Observational qualitative data and quantitative crime rates were applied in a comparative analysis

Surveillance by Design: Assessment Using Principles of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) in Urban Parks

AbstractThis study is conducted to assess the perceived safety of the public during recreational activities in selected urban parks. The objective of this study is to define the Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and their safety elements that are significant in designing an urban park. The case studies include three different urban parks in the vicinity of Shah Alam City, which are Shah Alam Lake Park in Section 14, Recreational Park in Section 28 and SUK Urban Forest Park in Section 14. Several criteria of CPTED that could contribute to the better park design have been identified

POSSIBILITIES OF APPLICATION OF CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (CPTED) IN LITHUANIAN COMMERCIAL OBJECTS

Five commercial objects (Soviet-time, fully reconstructed and newly built) located on one of the most crime-ridden and problematic streets of Kaunas city, Lithuania, are researched according to crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) strategies: natural surveillance, access control, territoriality, maintenance, and activity support. Theft from motor vehicle, robbery and intentional damage of property are analyzed. Research results reveal that CPTED is poorly implemented in all analyzed objects. Though, in Soviet-time commercial objects it is even harder to implement activity support strategy. Correlation analysis demonstrates significant strong relations between the analyzed crimes and some criteria from surveillance, access control, territoriality and activity support strategies. Recommendations for safety improvement in commercial objects are proposed based on CPTED strategies
