“The proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in fear of crime and te incidence of crime and to an improvement in the quality of life”

Dr. Jeffery, CPTED

Natural access control utilises walkways, fences, lighting, signage and landscape to clearly guide people and vehicles to and from the proper entrances. 

Image and maintenance ensure that a building or area is clean, well kept and free of graffiti or litter. If a property is untidy and littered with trash and graffiti, it sends the message that no one cares for the property and undesirable behaviour will be tolerated. 

Territoriality allows for the feeling of pride or ownership of a place while also creating a welcoming environment. It is important to project the image that a property is well cared for and those responsible for it will protect it. 

Natural surveillance maximises the ability to spot suspicious people or activities. Clear sight lines and visible entranceways are helpful while dimly lit or isolated areas create a more comfortable location for criminals to act. 

Activity support encourages the intended use of public space by residents. An unsafe area may see a loss of business or a lack of people on the street, for example. An area active with legitimate users deters criminal activity. 

Hierarchy of space identifies ownership of an area by clearly delineating private from public space with boundaries such as decorative sidewalks, lawns, and hedges.

Proper allocation of space features a design or location decision that takes into account the surrounding environment and minimises the use of space by conflicting groups.   In addition to creating an environment in which criminals feel uncomfortable, the goal of these design principals is also to foster an environment in which law-abiding citizens do feel comfortable and secure.
