The Theory of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Simple, almost obvious as this may be, the idea that crime is partly caused by physical environment has been a controversial one among criminologists. In my presentation I will argue that the controversy is based on a misunderstanding about causes and will review what is now a large body of evidence that the physical environment plays an important part in crime. I will then review current approaches to changing the physical environment and the “opportunity” theories on which these rest. I will also consider the main criticism of environmental crime prevention that it does not reduce crime, but merely displaces it to some other time, place or target. Finally, I will draw out the main lessons from research about successful ways to implement crime prevention through environmental design.
