Planning Urban Design and Management for Crimeprevention

Handbook on Crime Prevention Guidelines for urban planning and design. It's one of the outputs of the Action Safepolis (with funding from the European Commission) and is meant as an explanatory document to Annex D of the Technical Report "Prevention of Crime by Urban Planning" produced by CEN (European Committee of Standardization) in 2007. The aim of this Handbook is to provide a technical support to practitioners (architects, planners, engineers etc.) and to decision makers in their commitment to make our cities safer.

World class places The Government's strategy for improving quality of place.

The way places and buildings are planned, designed and looked after matters to all of us in countless ways. The built environment can be a source of everyday joy or everyday misery. It is an important influence on crime, health, education, inclusion, community cohesion and well-being. This strategy lays out how the Government will, over the next months and years, build on our record and do more to help create great places to live, work and bring up a family. A publication of HM Government UK.

Fear of Crime and the Neighbourood Context in Canadian Cities.

Research paper by Robin Fitzgerald, prepared by the Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics (CCJS). The results showed that while the characteristics and perceptions of individuals were most important in explaining differences in fear among urban Canadians; a statistically significant portion of the variation in fear was attributable to the neighbourhood environment.

SafeGrowth: Moving Forward in Neighbourhood Development
Sustainable strategies for crime prevention rarely, if ever, find their way into the formal design and planning of urban places. This article illustrates how an alternative planning process – SafeGrowth – employs a more holistic style of neighbourhood development than occurs in traditional prevention theory. By Gregory Saville in Built Environment.
