Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)

CRI is now delivering a Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) course, which the International CPTED Association accredits. This training CPTED aims to enhance participants' understanding of their immediate physical environment. By altering this perception, participants can better grasp the direct relationship between the environment, human behavior, and crime. Understanding the design, management, and effective use of the environment is crucial for successful crime prevention efforts. While CPTED is not a complete solution to community problems, it provides tools to eliminate or reduce environmental obstacles to social, cultural, or managerial control. Importantly, CPTED does not require extensive technical knowledge. To be an effective community crime prevention strategy, basic CPTED concepts must be easily understood by as many people as possible.
