Summary
"Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED as it is more commonly known, is a proactive crime
fighting technique that believes that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction
in the fear and incidence of crime as well as an improvement in the quality of life. A CPTED analysis helps to provide an
explanation for the varying reactions and results between
three affordable, neighbouring developments with two significantly different levels of success, crime
and feelings of ownership."--Includes text from page 2.
