Attractive object
An attractive object is urban object with a high appeal to potential criminals.
identification of attractive objects
An attractive object is characterised by the fact that it has perceived qualities that match the motives of potential perpetrators. This means that the actual characteristics of an object (for example, are there really objects of value inside the building?) are less relevant than the perceived characteristics (do potential perpetrators think that there are objects of value inside the building?).
The identification of attractive objects can be done by checking the characteristics that match the motives of potential perpetrators with the perceived characteristics of the urban object. As there are various kinds of motives, this should be done for all motives in the security issues that concern objects.
Gain of wealth
This concerns all security issues of thieves against objects:
- get in and hide
- breaking and entering
- ram-raiding
- car theft
Attractive objects for the motive gain of wealth can be identified by checking:
- are valuable goods present or do they appear to be present? Examples are objects that have a exceptionally high level of visible protection measures ('where there's smoke, there's fire'), a visible flow of valuables, a high external stature, outside markings that indicate the presence of valuables (such as the word 'bank' on the facade), are valuable goods visible from the outside or can their presence be deducted?
Amusement
This concerns the security issues of vandals:
- destruction of property
- arsony
- grafitti
