CPTED <br /> • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design <br /> is a multidisciplinary approach of crime prevention <br /> that uses urban and architectural design and the <br /> management of built and natural environments. <br /> • CPTED strategies aim to reduce victimization ; <br /> deter offender decisions that precede criminal <br /> acts; and build a sense of community among <br /> inhabitants so they can gain territorial control of <br /> areas, reduce crime and minimize fear of crime. <br />
