Security / Architecture

The concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) has undergone

dramatic changes over the last several decades since C. Ray Jeffery coined the term in the

early 1970s and Tim Crowe wrote the rst CPTED applications book. The second edition of

21st Century Security and CPTED includes the latest theory, knowledge, and practice of

CPTED as it relates to the current security threats facing the modern world: theft, violent

crime, terrorism, gang activity, and school and workplace violence.

This signicantly expanded edition includes the latest coverage of proper lighting, building

design—both the interior and exterior—physical security barriers, the usage of fencing,

bollards, natural surveillance, landscaping, and landscape design. Such design concepts

and security elements can be applied to address a wide variety of threats including crime

prevention, blast mitigation, and CBRNE threat protection.

Authored by one of the U.S.’s renowned security experts—and a premiere architect and

criminologist—the book is the most comprehensive examination of CPTED and CPTED

principles available. This edition includes a complete update of all chapters in addition to ve

new chapters, over 700 gure illustrations and photos, numerous tables and checklists, and a

20-page color plate section. This latest edition:

• Features ve new chapters including green and sustainable buildings, infrastructure

protection, and premises liability

• Presents step-by-step guidelines and real-world applications of CPTED concepts,

principles and processes—from risk assessment to construction and post-occupancy

• Outlines national building security codes and standards

• Examines architectural surety from the perspective of risk analysis and premises

liability

• Demonstrates CPTED implementation in high-security environments, such as

A practical resource for architects, urban planners and designers, security managers, law

enforcement, CPTED practitioners, building and property managers, homeland security

professionals, and students, 21st Century Security and CPTED, Second Edition continues

to serve as the most complete and up-to-date reference available on next-generation CPTED
