Schneider, Tod
National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) 101 applies to both new and existing schools and is built on three simple concepts: natural surveillance, natural access control, and territoriality. If a school's layout seems unsafe, adopting a few CPTED fundamentals may help make it significantly safer. This paper offers some tips for making schools safe using the CPTED concepts. (Contains 1 footnote.)
