Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
Certification Seminar
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, or CPTED, (pronounced "sep-ted") is a series of building design strategies based upon the principle that "...the proper design and effective use of the built environments can lead to a reduction of fear and incidences of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life". CPTED is a multi-disciplinary approach aimed at deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. It is based upon the belief that crime can be directly related to the physical environment.
Law enforcement professionals, community planners and architects should be well versed in the principles and strategies associate with CPTED. They should subsequently work collaboratively to implement CPTED strategies for new building and facilities as well as major renovation projects in order to minimize the occurrence of crime and provide for a safer environment.
