Course Description
On the world stage the United States has the highest homicide rate among high-income countries.
In 2021, the US had 6.81 homicides per 100,000 people, which was higher than the second-highest rate in the G7 countries. In addition, the US has a higher rate of firearm homicides than other high-income countries and has had more mass shootings and school shootings than any other country.
To make matters worse, a high rate of violent crimes go unreported to the police, especially rape and sexual assault.
To indirectly protect the public, design professionals can take a proactive approach towards reducing crime in their project area by implementing CPTED techniques during the planning and design phases of their projects, especially those in urban and commercial areas.
This course is intended to explain the overall concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) with a focus on its main principles and how they are implemented via urban planning and other means.
Learning Objectives
Understanding the history behind Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and its purpose.
Understanding natural surveillance and access control and how it is implemented.
Understanding natural territorial reinforcement and how it is implemented.
Understanding maintenance and activity support and how it is implemented.
