Abstract

Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) was defined along with how it works and what it can be used for relating to school safety. An overview of its origins, history, and history of its successful uses in other fields to create safe environments is shown. Psychological and sociological theories of rational choice and deterrence were discussed as they relate to CPTED. The process of assessment to develop the proper creation and application of CPTED in the design of school building(s) was explained along with how CPTED can be applied to existing school buildings via assessments by CPTED professionals and how modifications of existing buildings can be accomplished to obtain the same results as an originally designed building. The 11 elements of CPTED were identified, and the chapter explains how they can be implemented to provide a safe environment through the environmental design. The benefits of what CPTED can be accomplished by creating a safe environment for students, teachers, and administrators in the school campuses and buildings is also presented.
