Presentation: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design February 23 12:00 - 1:30

Description

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) : Enhances safety by influencing the physical design of our environment and encouraging positive social interaction. CPTED recognizes that our environment directly affects our behavior, whether or not we are aware of it, because we constantly respond to what is around us. These responses help us to interact safely in our communities. A place designed using CPTED principles reduces opportunities for criminal behavior. CPTED uses many different strategies that work together to create safer communities.
