Crime
Crime is the breach of rules or laws for which some governing authority (via mechanisms such as legal systems) can ultimately prescribe a conviction.[1]
Types of crime
A uniformly accepted categorisation of crime does not exist; rather, each country uses its own classification and often more than one.
In the context of urban planning, not all types of crimes are equally relevant, due to:
- the extent to which they are infuenceable by means of urban design;
- the extent to which they form a risk, both in terms of likelihood of occurence and impact;

Occurence of crime

Security issues
The types of crime that are deemed relevant enough for the urban planning process to be explicitly elaborated in this Securipedia, are called Security Issues. These issues are:
- Break and enter (burglary)
- Ram-raiding
- Pickpocketing
- Robbery
- Vehicle theft
- Physical assault
- Sexual assault
- Vandalism
- Destruction by riots
- Destruction of property by fanatics (terrorists)
- Graffiti
- Mass killing (by fanatics)
- Raid (commercial theft with use of violence)
