Description
In this 12-hour course, you will delve into the transformative field of environmental design for crime prevention. By the end, you'll be equipped to seamlessly integrate Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies into your architectural and urban planning projects. Throughout the course, you'll explore various design tactics capable of deterring criminal behavior, reinforced by real-world examples and case studies. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the core principles of CPTED and their pivotal role in enhancing public safety within urban environments. Moreover, you'll learn to identify and analyze how specific architectural and planning features can influence public safety, enabling you to effectively apply CPTED principles to both urban and building design.

Objectives
Higher Learning Objectives for Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
-
Theoretical Foundations of CPTED
- Analyze the historical evolution, core principles, and theoretical frameworks of CPTED in relation to criminological and urban planning theories.
- Evaluate the effectiveness of CPTED strategies in crime prevention based on empirical research and case studies.
-
Application of Environmental Design Strategies
- Assess the role of natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, access control, and maintenance in reducing crime opportunities.
- Develop site-specific CPTED plans for urban and suburban environments, incorporating risk assessments and community input.
-
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Crime Prevention

-
Legal and Ethical Considerations
- Interpret relevant legal frameworks, policies, and zoning regulations that influence the implementation of CPTED initiatives.
- Assess ethical considerations and potential social implications of CPTED interventions, including issues related to displacement and exclusion.
-
Evidence-Based Policy and Program Evaluation
- Design and evaluate CPTED programs using quantitative and qualitative research methodologies.
- Utilize crime mapping and spatial analysis tools to assess the impact of CPTED strategies on crime rates and community perceptions of safety.
-
Community Engagement and Collaborative Implementation
