The CPTED Strategies introduced and well laid out in this book, establish a foundation for creative target hardening and risk transference.
To suggest as one critic does, that this is "low level" stuff is to miss the point entirely.
As a security consultant, I have applied these concepts to a variety of corporate settings with positive results.
If someone is simply looking for standard "templates" without the capacity to creatively apply the ideals this is not the book.
If you are serious about your work, it is essential.

This text provides down-to-earth information concerning CPTED for the security practitioner. Some material in the first few chapters is repeated excessively. At times the author's opinions are louder than the factual text, detracting from the material. However, the appendicies are excellent and practical.

This is one book that everyone into CPTED should have as a reference. I like the way it is layed out and it gives a good history of how Crime Prevention Through Environmental came to be.

The book was delivered as described. The book was in great condition. No marks. I near perfect condition. It's nice to know a company is honest and ethical.
Thanks

This book has pretty low level info.

If you are looking for ways to secure a high level executive's office suite using the principles of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, forget it. The examples in this book are more at the level of bus stops.

Hopefully the authors will update their information with modern design scenarios.
