CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design)

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a strategy that aims to reduce crime by improving the design and layout of physical environments. It involves making spaces safer through elements like better lighting, natural surveillance, and clear boundaries to discourage criminal behavior. CPTED also emphasizes maintaining property to promote community pride and vigilance. By creating spaces that are more inviting and defensible, CPTED encourages positive interactions among people and deters potential offenders, contributing to a safer and more secure community.
