In this paper, I introduce the concept of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) as well as related approaches that help us to understand and prevent crime. I briefly show how this concept originated, how it is part of the broader field of environmental criminology, and the theories that underlie it. Finally, I show how it has been put into practice in the United States. The goal of the paper is to provide a solid understanding of one of the major crime prevention approaches in the United States-CPTED-as well as related approaches that are used here and elsewhere.
