Security Designed into New and Remodeled Facilities
It’s
called crime prevention through environmental design or CPTED. It’s been around
as a concept for almost 40 years. But since the 9/11 tragedy, there has been
renewed interest by chief security officers, architects and law enforcement in
the guidelines and real-world applications of CPTED concepts. A new book, “21st Century Security and CPTED,” edited by Randall Atlas and published by CRC
Press, updates best practices as applied to today’s world of threats including
workplace violence, terrorism and street crime.
This exclusive Enterprise Solutions report from
Security Magazine comes from that book and centers on situational crime
prevention.
