This assignment discusses the concept of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), a term in criminology that focuses on effective tactical design for the built environment to reduce crime. The seven concepts of CPTED are surveillance, territoriality, image management, access control, activity support, geographical juxtaposition, and target hardening. The effectiveness of CPTED is discussed with examples such as Ford City Neighborhood, and various proven policies and strategies to reduce crime are also mentioned. However, there are criticisms related to CPTED, including its limitations in reducing crime effectively and the issue of crime displacement.
