Title: | Policing built environment crime risks: the role of police in CPTED in New South Wales, Australia | Contributor(s): | Fisher, Daren (author); Clancey, Garner (author); Rutherford, Amanda (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1080/15614263.2015.1091737 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/20663 | Abstract: | Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is now routinely adopted in many parts of the world. The role assumed by police in CPTED practices has however received limited academic attention. Through an analysis of available documentation and interviews with local government planners from 10 Sydney councils, this article provides a (partial) understanding of the historical and contemporary roles police have played in the development and implementation of CPTED guidelines in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. It is argued that the NSW Police Force was a pivotal driver of the introduction of planning guidelines to ensure crime risks are considered when new developments are being planned. However, the ongoing contribution of police appears to have waned, largely due to administrative, practical and operational realities. These findings have relevance for ongoing CPTED practice and the work of specialist policing roles more generally. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Police Practice and Research, 17(5), p. 477-488 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1477-271X 1561-4263 |
