	Outdoor Lighting and Crime
		Although the presence of light tends to allay the fear of crime at night, the balance of evidence from relatively short-term field studies is that increased lighting is ineffective for preventing or deterring actual crime.
		Artificial light at night may allay the fear of crime, but the evidence from relatively short-term field studies is not clear-cut in terms of whether lighting deters actual crime.

	Outdoor Lighting and Crime
		Moderation of outdoor ambient light levels may reduce crime in due course, as well as limiting the adverse environmental effects. Lighting controls might provide a means of limiting urbanisation and urban sprawl.
		Since 1997, a few researchers have claimed that outdoor artificial light at night prevents crime by day and night. Accordingly, government authorities in the UK and elsewhere have increased the amount of outdoor lighting. Part 1 of this work demonstrated that the experimental and analytical results in question are unreliable, however.
		The literature indicates that artificial light at night may reduce the fear of crime to levels approaching those experienced in the same location in daylight. Illuminance of about 20 lux appears to be fully or highly effective in practice, and less is often adequate.
