Summary

"The Tilley bandit's strategic use of the larger environment resulted in pre-planned escape routes and observation posts. These factors, when combined with a determined mindset, overcame the positive Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) design features of the bank buildings themselves. In order to provide a more effective deterrent, CPTED design must include the larger environment. In the case of the banking industry, designers must be aware of the reverse CPTED potential for superior natural surveillance and access control by training themselves to look through the armed criminal's eyes."--Summary.
