ABSTRACT

You have probably heard one or more of these types of statements from people in your family or work environment. You may have asked yourself these questions. The answers are sometimes intuitive, and sometimes they are a result of thorough investigation. There is a methodology to ascertain the level of threat and risk, but rst we must understand what these terms mean. Once we understand the threats and risks, then we can design the appropriate level of the crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and security strategy to counter them.
