97. Crime Prevention Through Design. 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: 1. 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. 2. Provide clearly marked transitional zones. Persons need to be
able to identify when they are moving from public to semi-public to private space. 3. Gathering
or congregating areas to be located or designated in locations where there is good
surveillance and access control. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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. 8. 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. 9. 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.
