| | CPTED 5 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) |
 | | In its purest sense, CPTED is the passive use of the physical environment to reduce the opportunity for and fear of predatory stranger-to-stranger crime: burglar, robbery, assault, larceny, murder, rape, even bombing. |
 | | CPTED differs according to the space, use, occupancy, and perceived risk but there are some common threads. |
 | | CPTED is the antithesis of target hardening, which employs mechanical and electronic access control and surveillance systems. |
