the "Inkless Ink Program." At a minimal cost for inkless inkpads, retailers can take a
thumbprint of every customer using a personal check to pay for services. A decal is
also posted on the front entry of the business advising customers of the "Inkless Ink
Program" in use. If the business becomes a victim of check fraud, the Police
Department will be able to track the suspect with the thumbprint.
PD-17. Crime prevention through environmental design as developed by the National Crime
Prevention Institute (NCPI) supports the concept that "the proper design and
effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and
incidence of crime and an improvement in the quality of life." The nine primary
strategies that support this concept are included below:
a. Provide clear border definition of controlled space. Examples of border
definition may include fences, shrubbery or signs in exterior areas. Within a
building, the arrangement of furniture and color definition can serve as a means
of identifying controlled space.
b. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be able to identify
when they are moving from public to semi-public to private space.
c. Gathering or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where
there is good surveillance and access control.
d. Place safe activities in unsafe locations. Safe activities attract normal users to a
location and subsequently render the location less attractive to abnormal users
due to observation and possible intervention.
e. Place unsafe activities in safe locations. Placing unsafe activities in areas of
natural surveillance or controlled access will help overcome risk and make the
users of the areas feel safer.
f. Redesign the use of space to provide natural barriers. Separate activities that
may conflict with each other (outdoor basketball court and children's play area,
for example) by distance; natural terrain or other functions to avoid such conflict.
g. Improve scheduling of space. The timing in the use of space can reduce the risk
for normal users and cause abnormal users to be of greater risk of surveillance
and intervention.
h. Redesign space to increase the perception of natural surveillance. Abnormal
users need to be award of the risk of detection and possible intervention.
Windows and clear lines-of-sight serve to provide such a perception of
surveillance.
i. Overcome distance and isolation. This strategy may be accomplished through
improved communications (portable two-way radios, for example) and design
efficiencies, such as the location of restrooms in a public building.
