Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a discipline that outlines how the proper design of a physical environment can reduce crime by directly affecting human behavior. The crux of CPTED is that the physical environment can be manipulated to create behavioral effects that will reduce crime and fear of crime. It looks at the components that make up the relationship between humans and their environment. This encompasses the physical, social, and psychological needs of the users of different types of environments and predictable behavior of these users and offenders.
