Abstract
This document provides guidelines to organizations for establishing the general and specific strategies for preventing and reducing crime and the fear of crime at a new or existing residential facilities, in single or multiple units. It recommends the establishment of countermeasures and actions to treat crime and security risks against people and property in dwellings and their immediate environment (surroundings) through CPTED strategies in an effective and efficient manner. Within this document, the term “security” is used in a broad manner to include all crime, safety and security-specific applications, so it is applicable to public and private organizations, regardless of type, size or nature. While this document provides general examples of implementation strategies and best practices, it is not intended to provide an exhaustive listing of detailed design, architectural or physical security CPTED implementation strategies or restrict the potential applications to only those examples provided in this document
