ABSTRACT
Facilities are environments with special functions (Step 16). Educational facilities involve teaching and study. Industrial facilities produce and process materials. Office facilities process information. Retail facilities involve sales and monetary transactions. Some facilities are frequent sites for crime and disorder. Examples include pubs, car parks, railway stations and, in America, convenience stores and public housing projects. These relatively few sites make a disproportionate contribution to crime and disorder - they are 'risky facilities'.
