CPTED expected outcomes
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design seeks to influence the design of buildings and places by:
Removing conditions that create confusion about required norms of behaviour.
Increasing the perception of risk to criminals by increasing the possibility of detection, challenge and capture.
Increasing the effort required to commit crime by increasing the time, energy or resources which need to be expended.
Minimise the actual and perceived benefits of crime
Principles of CPTED
Territorial Reinforcement
Community ownership of public space sends positive signals. People often feel comfortable in, and are more likely to visit, places which feel owned and cared for. Well used places also reduce opportunities for crime and increase risk to criminals.
Surveillance
Good surveillance means that people can see what others are doing. People feel safe in public areas when they can easily see and interact with others. Would be offenders are often deterred from committing crime in areas with high levels of surveillance.
Access Control
Physical and symbolic barriers can be used to attract, channel or restrict the movement of people. They minimise opportunities for crime and increase the effort required to commit crime.
Space Management
Popular public space is often attractive, well maintained and well used space. Linked to the principle of territorial reinforcement, space management ensures that space is appropriately utilised and well cared for.
