This significantly expanded edition includes the latest coverage of proper lighting, building design both the interior and exterior physical security barriers, the usage of fencing, bollards, natural surveillance, landscaping, and landscape design. Such design concepts and security elements can be applied to address a wide variety of threats including crime prevention, blast mitigation, and CBRNE threat protection.
Authored by one of the U.S. s renowned security experts and a premiere architect and criminologist the book is the most comprehensive examination of CPTED and CPTED principles available. This edition includes a complete update of all chapters in addition to five new chapters, over 700 figure illustrations and photos, numerous tables and checklists, and a 20-page color plate section. This latest edition:

• Features five new chapters including green and sustainable buildings, infrastructure protection, and premises liability
• Presents step-by-step guidelines and real-world applications of CPTED concepts, principles and processes from risk assessment to construction and post-occupancy evaluation
• Outlines national building security codes and standards
• Examines architectural surety from the perspective of risk analysis and premises liability
