111. Crime Prevention Through Environmental 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 as conditions 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.
