Abstract

SECURITY ENGINEERING REFERS TO THE APPLICATION OF CRIME PREVENTION STRATEGIES TO THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT. SECURITY ENGINEERING IS BASED ON THE CONCEPTS OF ACCESS CONTROL AND SURVEILLANCE. THE GUIDELINES FOCUS ON THE APPLICATION OF SECURITY ENGINEERING STRATEGIES AT THE PLANNING AND DESIGN STAGE. SPECIFIC STRATEGIES ARE DESCRIBED FOR THREE KINDS OF FACILITIES: AN INDIVIDUAL BUILDING; A COMPLEX OF BUILDINGS (E.G., A HOSPITAL); AND AN ENTIRE INSTALLATION (E.G., AN INDUSTRIAL SITE). THE STRATEGIES ARE DISCUSSED IN TERMS OF SITE PLANNING, PERIMETER CONTROL, TRAFFIC AND PARKING, BUILDING DESIGN AND SHIPPING AND RECEIVING. SPECIFIC SUGGESTIONS FOR IMPLEMENTING THE STRATEGIES ARE OFFERED. SECURITY MEASURES APPLICABLE TO FACILITIES THAT ARE BEING RENOVATED ARE INCLUDED. SOURCES OF CONSULTANT SERVICES AND AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ARE APPENDED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED--LKM)
