What is '2nd Generation CPTED'?

E-mail Print PDF
2nd Generation CPTED focuses on social soft issues as well as 'situational factors'.

Second generation CPTED extends beyond mere physical design to include social factors.

It uses risk assessments, socio-economic and demographic profiling.

It takes account of 'tipping points' by which behaviours are triggered and includes the effects of active community participation.
