What:Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is an approach to problem solving that asks, what is it about this location that places people at risk, or that results in opportunities for crime? In other words, why here?
In every problem, asking why here? reveals that opportunities for crime and other problems arise out of a variety of environmental conditions related to the building, the site, and the location and how the place is used. Solving a problem requires a detailed understanding of both crime and place, and the response should consider one of the three objectives of crime prevention through environmental design: control access, provide opportunities to see and be seen, or define methods to secure and protect property.
This class is a resource for understanding and using crime prevention through environmental design as a problem-solving tool. The instruction explains the basic principles of CPTED and outlines a process for identifying problems, evaluating the physical environment, and identifying strategies that will remove or reduce opportunities for crime.
Working together with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department — Santa Clarita Valley Station, the City of Santa Clarita and our local business community, we can effectively reduce crime. Remember, preventing crime is EVERYONE's business.
