Stephen: While the content is draft text, in our opinion for it to be applicable to the end user, we need to move away from an academic description and focus on the practical/applicable aspects. So, a short description of it, followed by the aspects that could be used by end user in assessing the scheme/improving it in the decision making process.
Do we need to perhaps provide similar information on CPTED, 2nd Generation CPTED, Secure by Design etc in addition to Designing Out Crime?
For example:
CPTED is Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. Underlying the use of CPTED is the assumption that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life. CPTED is an acronym for crime prevention through environmental design, which asserts that the proper design and effective use of the built environment can lead to a reduction in the fear and incidence of crime, and an improvement in the quality of life (Crowe, 2000, p. 46).
Based upon Oscar Newman's Defensible Space (1973) and others, it is a means for restructuring the residential environments of our cities so they can again become liveable and controlled not by police, but by a community of people sharing a common terrain
2nd Generation CPTED 2nd Generation CPTED focuses on social soft issues as well as 'situational factors'. Second generation CPTED extends beyond mere physical design to include social factors. It uses risk assessments, socio-economic and demographic profiling. It takes account of 'tipping points' by which behaviours are triggered and includes the effects of active community participation (http://www.designoutcrime.org/index.php/docfaqs/26-cpted2)
Albert: Did some minor edits, added a sentence explaining what designing out crime is (although the text above might be better, I only saw it now) and edited some text to follow the structure of the article.
I fail to find the relevance in the "David Garland" paragraph. This needs to be explained or deleted.
- in the security section, terrorism is defined as a form of crime, so using the sentence "Crime and terrorism" is confusing
