Abstract

THE PRIMARY GOALS OF CPTED (CRIME PREVENTION THROUGH URBAN DESIGN) ARE REDUCING CRIME AND ALLAYING CITIZEN FEAR OF CRIME. THE SECONDARY IMPACTS IDENTIFIED IN THIS DOCUMENT ARE THOSE THAT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF CPTED STRATEGIES AND THE SUBSEQUENT REALIZATION OF CPTED GOALS. THE NATURE OF THESE IMPACTS IN RESIDENTIAL APPLICATIONS MIGHT AFFECT THE COST OF HOUSING, OCCUPANCY RATES, THE COST OF PUBLIC SERVICES, AND BUILDING CODES. SECONDARY IMPACTS OF SCHOOL APPLICATIONS MIGHT INCLUDE STUDENT RESENTMENT, CRIME DISPLACEMENT, TEACHER PERFORMANCE, AND TEACHER TURNOVER. SIMILAR CONSIDERATIONS FOR COMMERCIAL AND TRANSPORTATION APPLICATIONS ARE ALSO PRESENTED. CONSIDERATION IS GIVEN TO THE IMPACT OF CPTED STRATEGIES ON NON-CPTED AREAS AS WELL. THIS DOCUMENT ALSO PRESENTS A LISTING OF CPTED STRATEGIES AND TECHNIQUES SUBDIVIDED BY THE FOUR MAJOR IMPACT AREAS.
