Application of CPTED Theory reducing urban crimes

The theory of CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) can be used to prevent crimes in public and private man-made areas in the city by making a proper plan of a residential or work buildings. This theory is based on this idea that the “perpetration of crimes springs from opportunities for crime”. Therefore, it considers proper ways in reducing chances for committing crimes through a special planning in confronting crimes. The present article studies the features of this theory and attempts through suitable planning to create suitable residential areas in open and closed areas and minimize the perpetration of crimes. By using this theory, one can exploit methods based on expert planning and minimize the crimes instead of resorting to acquired methods of confronting insecurity in the urban space.
