Advanced Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)

A guide to the practical application of CPTED concepts, ways to measure the successful implementation of these concepts, and exploring new CPTED strategies and technologies.

Crime can be directly influenced by the design
of the physical environment

The long-awaited sequel to our basic CPTED course, the new Advanced Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) seminar covers new strategies and technologies, such as second and third generation CPTED.  We also provided detailed guidelines for how to practically implement and measure the success of these strategies and concepts.
CPTED is a series of building design strategies aimed at deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. Law enforcement professionals, security professionals, community planners, and architects should be well versed in CPTED principles and strategies. They should work collaboratively to implement these strategies for new buildings and major renovation projects to minimize the occurrence of crime and provide for a safer environment.
