Special Discount: Designing Safer Communities: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design Handbook

Neighborhoods may have problems with gang violence, drug trafficking, burglaries, assaults, and other crimes, and residents often say the area "doesn't feel safe" because streets are empty, properties have been abandoned, graffiti covers the sides of buildings, and trash collection is erratic. Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) offers a framework to resolve these neighborhood and community problems and provides opportunities for crime prevention in new and revised construction and land use plans. CPTED is a tool for identifying, preventing, and solving local crime problems. It brings together local planners with police officers, residents, and members of local agencies to explore how an area's physical features can be designed or modified to reduce crime. Designing Safer Communities is a guide to CPTED principles and strategies. It presents a framework for developing policies and partnerships that address situational crime prevention and reviews the experiences of several states and communities that have successfully incorporated CPTED as a strategic approach to public safety.
