CRM 330 Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design
This course focuses on the strategies and principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) as a proactive approach to deterring criminal behavior. Students study the history, theory, and application of CPTED principles, including natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, natural access control, and maintenance. The role of urban planning, architecture, and landscape design in creating safer communities is emphasized. Through case studies and design projects, students assess environments for vulnerabilities and propose CPTED-based interventions to reduce crime.
