1. Implementing Crime Prevention through Environment Design (CPTED) is not without its challenges. For many businesses, cost is cited as a major challenge. The changes are not always small and easy to implement, and things like installing barriers or redesigning spaces usually come with a cost. That cost then has to be absorbed by the business, because it is often difficult to pass onto the consumers. The reality is that in the long run the changes are expected to pay for themselves in lower crime against the business, lower insurance rates, etc., but that in the short run implementing CPTED measures is a cost that many businesses might find to be burdensome.
Another issue that many businesses run into is balancing the CPTED measures with the customer experience. If you ran moviegoers through an airport-style screening, for example, more people would simply stay home and watch Netflix, which is already a problem for the movie industry. If there are two clothing stores, one with barriers and obstructions to prevent shoplifting and one without, the store without might get more walk-in customers. So there is definitely a balancing act. The same could be said for an office space – windows...
Businesses inherit the designs of their space, and may not have full control over what they can do with that space. For example, a space might have large trees that obstruct surveillance, but those trees cannot be cut down without permission from the owner, or the city, and that permission is not forthcoming (nor cutting the trees be desirable for reasons that have nothing to do with security). Situations like that leave a business with certain barriers to implementing CPTED that may prove too challenging to overcome (Krehnke, 2009).
There are ways to overcome these challenges of course. Fisher and Piracha (2011) provide a case study of multi-agency cooperation to overcome some of the logistical barriers that might prevent certain aspects of CPTED from being implemented. However, where such barriers are insurmountable, it can definitely be a challenge for business.

Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design CPTED) is a system that is designed to increase public safety and reduce the perception of crime through the "design and management of the physical environment of buildings, residential neighborhoods, and business areas." (Fleissner and Heinzelmann, 1996, p.1) In other words CPTED manages the physical aspects of a neighborhood in a way that reduces crime and the fear of it. A Fundamental aspect of CPTED is
violence in the public schools. Teen violence in general has become a major concern in America today. One of the reasons for the issue being so prevalent is the number of school shootings in the last few years, especially the shooting at Columbine High in Littleton, Colorado. While the welfare of young people is always of concern, much of the fear being generated at the present time is excessive.

Also, other intervening variables, such as the expansion of the American economy, reduced crime in other parts of the city, and age cohort factors related to crime decrease, most likely also play a role in the positive observed. However, other things have to be taken into consideration when considering the value of such community environmental changes. The first is a much improved mindset by the residents, who are no longer
components and regulations concerning the design of a physical security system for a privately owned company. This essay will create a system that reflects the needs of the customer. The customer is an office, and paper and computer storage facility that is private in nature and requires certain security requirements that can meet this customers specific and unique needs. The essay will first describe the necessary standards and credentials that
School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been
