If no one cares what happens here, is it less risky to try opening the door with a crowbar or bolt cutter?
Territoriality impacts Access
![Page 28: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Access barriers alone can be
overcome
Surveillance + Access +
Territoriality (SAT) work together

ACCESS: Does the fence make it harder to get in and out?
![Page 30: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
SURVEILLANCE: Does the fence make it less likely I will be seen when attempting to break in
through a back door?
![Page 31: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Surveillance + Access + Territoriality may impact each other.

TERRITORIALITY: High level maintenance. Defined borders.
![Page 36: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Short decorative fencing can enhance territoriality inside the fence without disconnecting from the surrounding neighborhood

Short fencing, even if solid,
creates no surveillance problems.

As fences get higher, the access barrier increases, but the risk of visually disconnecting
from the neighborhood also grows
![Page 40: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Does anyone care what happens here INSIDE the fence?
![Page 41: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Does anyone care what happens here OUTSIDE the fence?
![Page 42: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
High fences may diminish territoriality outside the fence
![Page 43: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
High solid fences
• Indicates lack of territoriality outside of walls
• Reduces natural surveillance
Can anyone see what happens outside the fence?
![Page 44: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)

High solid fences
• Indicates lack of territoriality outside of walls
• Reduces natural surveillance
High solid fences may create spaces with little surveillance or territoriality
![Page 46: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Some high fences control access, but fail the S.A.T. by (1) Blocking
surveillance(2) Sending a clear
message that the area is dangerous, crime is accepted, and no one cares what happens outside the wall
![Page 47: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Making the chain link fence opaque blocks surveillance and permits graffiti showing a lack of external territoriality.
![Page 48: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
With proper design and maintenance,
high fences can limit access without
damaging surveillance or
territoriality
![Page 49: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Spikes can add a visceral element of access reduction that is still decorative and residential
![Page 51: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Of course, you can go too far with anything!
![Page 52: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Window bars limit access, but may also send a negative territoriality message about
neighborhood safety.
![Page 53: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Glass block can create security similar to window bars but without the stigma
![Page 54: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Most burglary entries do not occur through the front door, often because of natural surveillance.
![Page 55: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Open access to side or rear entry points where there is no natural surveillance make for more attractive burglary entrances.
![Page 56: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Access barriers to side or rear entrance can reduce the risk
![Page 57: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
A very short barrier may provide insufficient access control
![Page 58: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
As barriers rise, access is reduced
![Page 59: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Tall opaque barriers limit access, but may also eliminate natural surveillance
![Page 60: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
The line of sight for entry points is critical.

What natural surveillance issue best predicted convenience store robberies?
C. Casteel (UCLA) & C. Peek-Asa (UCLA). 2000. Effectiveness of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in reducing robberies. American Journal of Preventative Medicine, 18, 99-115, p. 110
![Page 76: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Visibility from outside the store to inside the store was the most important sight line
C. Casteel (UCLA) & C. Peek-Asa (UCLA). 2000. Effectiveness of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in reducing robberies. American Journal of Preventative Medicine, 18, 99-115, p. 110

Visibility from outside the store to inside the store was a more significant predictor of convenience store robberies than the number of clerks or the proximity to drug traffic, gangs, or subsidized housing.

At night, surveillance depends on lighting.
![Page 79: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
Of course, surveillance can be blocked by both darkness and solid barriers.
![Page 80: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
• line of site; access out
Lighting alone may not overcome natural barriers to surveillance
![Page 81: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
Lighting can also be important during the day, especially where lines of sight are limited
![Page 82: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
Neighborhood watch signs may
improve territoriality by indicating that
people care what happens in
the area
![Page 83: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Of course, if no one really cares about the area, then there is no real community
ownership or territoriality,
and a sign may not have the
desired effect!
![Page 84: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
Territoriality fails when it appears that
no one is maintaining
an area. No one
is claiming ownership.
In short, no one cares what
happens there.
![Page 85: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
What signals do you get that territoriality
appears weak here?
![Page 86: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Closed stairwells have low natural surveillance and easy access for both entry and escape
![Page 87: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
Combined with territoriality deficiencies, stairwells can create CPTED problem areas.
![Page 88: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
Design solutions can improve the
natural surveillance for
stairwells
![Page 89: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/89.jpg)
Open stairwells have strong
natural surveillance properties
![Page 90: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/90.jpg)
All ranges of natural
surveillance levels are
possible for stairwells
depending upon the design
solution chosen
![Page 91: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/91.jpg)
“replacing bathroom entrance doors with right-angle entrances permit the warning sounds of crime to travel more freely and reduce the sense of isolation”
Sommer, R. (1983). Social design: Creating buildings with people in mind. Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall
Auditory Surveillance
![Page 92: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/92.jpg)
Cul-de-sacs may limit access, making visiting cars more noticeable
![Page 93: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/93.jpg)
Cul-de-sacs make automobile escape more problematic as there is only one exit route
![Page 94: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/94.jpg)
Street closures can provide similar access results
![Page 95: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/95.jpg)
Pedestrian traffic can also be limited with street closures
![Page 96: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/96.jpg)
High rise buildings provide weaker surveillance of
street level activity because of structural
separation, distance separation, and
sound separation.
This separation also limits the sense of territoriality over
street level activities.
![Page 97: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
Mid rise balconies create stronger surveillance and territoriality, connecting residents with street level.
![Page 98: Cptedreview 100417135250-phpapp02](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070303/54b2d1504a79593a448b45b3/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
Mid-rise balcony neighborhoods
create safer street level areas with high levels
of perceived surveillance and
perceived territoriality
