Some of the basic concepts for reducing crime through how we organize our environment...
All the details may not be possible on public streets like Undercliff, but the underlying themes should be investigated and implemented, if possible.
From the web page below:
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design guidelines can go a long way in making an environment safe. As stated earlier, criminal activity in CPTED cities is on the decline, but these principles alone cannot make, and more importantly keep, a community safe.
CPTED can eliminate problem areas: the badly lit parking lot, the blind alley and the public telephone stuffed in the dark corner. Hopefully, along with the feelings of safety and security that CPTED brings, will come a feeling of responsibility for our neighbor. That is the greatest crime prevention technique of all.
"CPTED is not the total answer to Community problems, but it does provide the community with the mean to eliminate or reduce environmental obstacles to social, cultural or managerial control"
