An experienced security consultant will share the four fundamental principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): 1) natural surveillance (criminals do not like to be seen); 2) natural access control (clearly define public and private spaces); 3) territorial reinforcement (an environment that fosters privacy and a sense of ownership); and 4) maintenance (upkeep to discourage vandalism and other crimes). Librarians from Buffalo NY and Columbus OH will place these principles in context through two case studies with real-world security scenarios.
