Answer: C - Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) does not have a people placement control strategy. CPTED uses natural access control, natural surveillance, and natural territorial reinforcement as strategies. Natural access control is the guidance of people entering and leaving a space by the placement of doors, fences, lighting, and landscaping with the goal of clear lines of site to deter potential offenders. Natural surveillance uses security guards, mechanical means (such as CCTV), and natural strategies such as low landscaping and raised entrances with the goal of making criminals feel uncomfortable by providing many ways observers could potentially see them and to make all other people safe and comfortable by providing open and well-designed environments. Natural territorial reinforcement creates physical designs that emphasize or extend the company’s physical sphere of influence so legitimate users feel a sense of ownership of that space by implementing the use of walls, fences, landscaping, flags, etc. The goal is to create a sense of a dedicated community.
