What is CPTED?
The acronym CPTED stands for “Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design” and was first introduced in 1971 by criminologist C. Ray Jeffery, which is defined as a multi-disciplinary approach that uses the physical design of an environment to reduce crime and fear by influencing the decisions and behaviour of potential offenders. It focuses on creating safer communities through strategic design, such as using natural access control, enhancing territorial control, and promoting a sense of community ownership.
“When applied properly, CPTED is the most effective crime prevention in the world,"
-Timothy Crowe, a prominent criminologist and author of the foundational textbook “CPTED”
