Abstract

This contribution will explore the symbiosis between Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) theory, Situational Crime Prevention (SCP), Rational Choice Theory and the Routine Activity concept of guardianship. In doing so, it will show how a more explicit integration between CPTED, SCP and these Environmental Criminology theories of opportunity can help facilitate more effective guardianship against crime. Drawing on empirical evidence about the importance of guardians in facilitating the relationship between environmental design and crime, this contribution will put forward an integrated framework for enhancing guardianship through environmental design. Implications for a more sophisticated synergy between CPTED and (SCP) will be discussed.
