  1. Celebrate Safe Communities How CPTED and related activities can help you engage community members of all ages!

  2. Objectives • After this webinar, participants will be better prepared to: • Define crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and the four main principles of CPTED • Describe the link between CPTED and crime prevention and the quality of life • Name at least two potential CSC event initiatives they could organize to share CPTED techniques with local residents • Outline initial plans for local initiatives that they can register at www.celebratesafecommunities.org • Identify at least one potential community, government, and private sector partner and at least one way each potential partner could contribute • Locate at least two NCPC tools that could help with CPTED education and outreach related to CSC

  3. Defining CPTED Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design is . . . The proper design and use of the built environment in order to lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime and improvement in the quality of life. In other words, certain physical conditions provide opportunities for criminals and make crimes easier to commit. CPTED helps us change the environment to reduce these risks.

  4. CPTED Principles • Access control • Surveillance • Territoriality • Activity support

  5. Access Control • Employs elements to deny admission to a crime target and to create a perception among offenders that there is a risk in selecting the target. Physical and mechanical means can supplement natural access control measures.

  6. Access Control • Examples of tools for access control • Doors • Fencing • Landscaping • Gates • Traffic control measures • “Target hardening” techniques

  7. Access Control Door System Frame Hinge Door Strike Lock

  8. Surveillance • Uses design features to increase the visibility of a property or building. The proper placement and design of these features increases the ability of the public or law enforcement to observe, and thus provides an opportunity to discourage or stop inappropriate behavior, or report it to the authorities.

  9. Surveillance • Examples of tools for surveillance • Lighting • Cameras • Windows facing streets/alleys • Porches

  10. Territoriality • Employs design elements to help distinguish between public and private areas and helps users exhibit signs of “ownership” that send “hands off” messages to would-be offenders.

  11. Territoriality • Examples of tools to support territoriality • Sidewalks • Landscaping • Lawn ornaments • Signage • Seasonal decorations

  12. Activity Support • Examples of activity support • Maintenance • Trimming landscaping • Regular and thorough track pick-up • Graffiti removal • Replacement of defective lighting • Equipment to support intended uses • Signage that directs you where to go • Signage about who can use the area • Facilities for specific age groups
