Summary
"The CPTED vacuum can occur when an enthusiastic lay-person, lacking police, security or crime-related academic
credentials, is exposed to CPTED training and embraces its principles. Armed only with this knowledge, the lay-person,
typically a planner or designer, sees it as a panacea against crime and quickly forgets that CPTED was meant primarily
to reduce opportunity crime and, in certain circumstances, needs to take to a secondary role."
