 CPTED history
Jeffery was preparing to develop a CPTED model aimed at modifying both the external environment and the internal environment of the offender.
Jeffery's shift from a stimulus-response model of human behavior to an integrated systems approach was motivated by research into the role of the brain in human learning conducted by researchers outside the field of criminology such as Seligman and Hager (1972) in the early 1970s (Jeffery, personal communication March 28, 1996).
Because Jeffery holds that the concept of rationality is metaphysical and cannot be empirically tested for advancement of our scientific knowledge regarding crime prevention (Jeffery personal communication, March 28, 1996), the fact that CPTED projects have preceded on the assumption of a rational man clearly separates Jeffery from other scholars in the field.
