Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a strategy that aims to reduce crime by modifying the physical environment. It focuses on designing spaces in ways that discourage criminal behavior, such as improving lighting, maintaining landscapes, and creating clear sightlines. By making areas more visible and accessible, CPTED encourages natural surveillance and community involvement. CPTED principles can be applied in various settings, including residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and public spaces. Techniques like territorial reinforcement, where property boundaries are clearly defined, and access control, which limits entry points, help create safer environments. Overall, CPTED promotes a proactive approach to crime prevention.
