Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Up-to-date examples of design solutions for crime prevention take center stage in this book. Particularly important are chapters in which poor CPTED designs are contrasted with effective ones, with clear sketches elucidating the informative text. This book has wide application beyond security professionals. Other stakeholders in the build environment -architects, engineers, designers, and end users - will also find this update primer invaluable." - Security Management
