Summary
"Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is among the most pro-active crime-fighting
approach that can be adopted.
CPTED can be applied widely, to businesses such as shopping malls and industrial/commercial parks, but is also to
residential areas, schools, institutions, parks, and playgrounds. It is based on a simple theory: that the proper design and
effective use of a physical environment can help reduce the incidence and fear of crime."--Includes text from page 1.
