Here is a book about the practical design of communities and
housing in which people can enjoy a good quality of life, free from
crime and fear of crime. Recognising that crime, vandalism and
anti-social behaviour are issues of high public concern, and that
the driving forces behind crime are numerous, this book argues that
good design can help tackle many of these issues. It shows how,
through integrating simple crime prevention principles in the
design process, it is possible, almost without notice, to make
residential environments much safer. Written from the perspective
of an architect and town planner, this book offers practical design
guidelines through a set of accessible case studies drawn from the
UK, USA, The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Each example illustrates
how success comes when design solutions reflect local
characteristics and where communities are truly sustainable; where
residents feel they belong, and where crime is dealt with as part
of the bigger picture of urban design.
