ABSTRACT
Many in the security eld know me from my writings and presentations with ASIS International over the past few decades. I have emerged as the leader in the eld of architectural security and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED). One of the greatest rewards I enjoy in my eld of expertise is teaching CPTED, especially to college students. I am a faculty member of Florida Atlantic University and teach a college-level course called designing safe cities with CPTED. As a nal class project, my students conduct a CPTED and critical infrastructure risk assessment of a building of their choosing. One of my students is a certied police ofcer with the Sunrise Police Department. The ofcer chose to investigate and evaluate a national chain franchise fast food restaurant in his city that had been suffering a continuous string of crime in the form of break-ins, vandalism, robberies, and burglaries.
