Community engagement and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) work together to make campus safety much better. Here’s how they do it:
Shared Ownership: When students and staff help plan public spaces, they start to feel like it’s their own place. This makes them more likely to look out for it.
Enhanced Awareness: When communities are involved, they can spot safety problems early. This helps fix issues quickly and smartly, using ideas from CPTED.
Designing for Visibility: Spaces that are well-lit and open, which include ideas from the community, make it easier for everyone to see each other. This can scare off potential criminals.
In short, when the community speaks up and smart design is used, campuses become safer and friendlier for everyone.
