Do any of you have good CPTED pictures (proper application/improper application) that you would be willing to share with the DHS/FPS Academy that can be used for instructional purposes here at FLETC?

Respectfully,

Scott Sheldon

Thanks Barry.

That is most of what I have covered in the lesson plan. My original plan was an eight hour lesson plan with three hours of student lab built in.  

My photo library is another matter all together. As you know CPTED has been erratically employed here in the States. I have many more examples of "Bad" CPTED than I have of "Good" CPTED. If I were back in Oregon I would just take them on a tour of the Nike Campus or take a walk along Tom McCall Waterfront Park and the downtown Bus Mall and Pedestrian area, but I am here in beautiful Brunswick, Georgia. Fort Frederica provides a great example of 18th Century CPTED, but I am trying to locate more current examples.

What do you think about teaching the "Displacement" theory? I have been reading on several more recent social science driven studies, but I don't find anything that is fairly well argued in favor or against the theory. For years it has been a mainstay of the CJ field, but I chose to leave it out of my original lesson plan because of the current lack of support for either point of view. 

Due to changes that we were forced to accept in our scheduling for the last class I had to drop approximately half of my original lesson plan, and as I rebuild for the next course I am looking at including a discussion point on Displacement Theory in with Crime Opportunity and Rational Choice Theory.  This is the outline of my original Lesson Plan. The one that we ended up teaching from this last class was far less comprehensive.  

Define the basic components or concepts of CPTED

1. What is CPTED?
2. Define the relationship between CPTED and “Crime Prevention”
3. “Built Environment” 
4. “Offender/Adversary/Hazard”              
5. “Natural Surveillance/Observation”                     
6. “Capable Guardian”                                            
7. “Natural Access Control”                                                   
8. “Territorial Reinforcement/Boundary Definition and Ownership”                                                          
9. “Maintenance and Broken Window Theory”
10. “Legitimate Activity Support”                              
11. What is “Pay Now or Pay Later”?      

Determine the roll of CPTED in risk management

1. “All Hazards”                                               
2. “Asset”                                                                                                                         
3. “Vulnerability”                                             
4. “Threat”                                                                                                           
5. “Consequence”                                                                                                  
6. “Risk”     R = T x V x C                               
7. “Assessment or Survey”                              
8. “Mitigation”                                                 

Define the interaction of CPTED,  “Rational Choice Theory” and "Crime Opportunity Theory."                                                      

Identify the basic misconceptions of CPTED          

Hi,

Sorry to join the discussion late.....

I agree with Jane, it is our experience that an inter or multi diciplinary group is best and allows for learning in both directions.

Also....I know that your time is short with the new recruits but I would urge you to at least mention the 2nd generation or Safe Growth principles.  Even if they just come to realize that there is another part to the training that they have not done.

The management or programming of a place is very important as well.  Your point is well taken....sometimes the new officers dont get to use this knowledge for a while....however, in Saskatoon, it is sometimes the newest members that have the most interation with the public.

Our experence is that it is the work with the community that pays the biggest dividends....not the work done to, or for, the community. 

Have fun.
