Abstract
Abstract Crime is a social phenomenon, which is closely related to human behaviour, economics, urban planning and design. The detailed research of six blocks of houses in three Lithuanian cities (Kaunas, Vilnius and Panevezys) with the highest crime rates and the most heterogeneous crimes was performed. Space syntax method, crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) and correlation analysis were applied. Research results demonstrate that thefts from cars, other thefts, crime against human health, robberies, small-scale hooliganism and intentional damage or destruction of property correlate with particular properties of urban spaces and design elements.

Crime is a social issue, which is strongly related to economics and GDP [1], [2], [3], urban planning [4], [5], [6], [7] and urban design [8], [9]
The inclusion of specialized areas and greenery into dense residential areas would contribute to crime prevention on streets, public lands should be combined with residential dwellings and greenery [10]
Summary
Crime is a social phenomenon, which is closely related to human behaviour, economics, urban planning and design. From the table we can see, that with the increase of number of topological depth 2 in a certain urban space, the thefts from cars increase too; with the increase of number of topological depth 1, the crimes against human health increase; the number of other thefts increases with the increase of number of windows in industrial buildings, that surround the certain urban space where the crime is committed; and the number of committed small-scale hooliganism crimes increases with the increase of the number of entrances and doors in commercial buildings, that surround the place of the committed small hooliganism.
