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 first 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 significantly 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 five new chapters,
