CPTED Best Practices
Keywords:
CPTED, surveillance, blind corners, vulnerabilityAbstract
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) involves the use of approaches to increase the level of physical security since they limit criminal access and promote sociability. The key practice includes natural surveillance such as fencing, lighting, and landscaping of the area, territorial reinforcement including clear boundaries and space appearance including locked doors and other access control features and security systems and monitored entry. In addition to the above factors, another key attribute combines to enhance security and reduce chances of vulnerability, proper design and maintenance as well as community engagement.
