ABSTRACT

This chapter introduces a modern variant on the crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) theme explored elsewhere in this book. We call it second-generation CPTED. For decades, CPTED has been taught as a set of physical tactics to modify the built environment and reduce opportunities for crime. Today this includes security fencing for access control and better door locks for target hardening. Unfortunately, the singular use of physical tactics, especially security measures for target hardening, is not the lesson offered by CPTED pioneers such as Jane Jacobs (1960), Schlomo Angel (1968), C. Ray Jeffery (1971), and Oscar Newman (1972).
