Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to critically review the papers published in the area of infrastructure design, environmental design, construction of houses, and crime and built environment. The paper aims to critically evaluate the available evidence on the contribution of crime prevention through environmental design as a crime prevention strategy (design modification or hard control using better and developed infrastructure). Design methodology– structured literature review approach is adopted to analyze the previously published papers. Findings – The review concludes that there is a growing body of research that supports the assertion that CPTED is effective in reducing both crime and fear of crime in the community. The findings also conclude that only very little amount of work has been done in the area of crime against women/women's fear of crime and built environment. Research limitations/implications – Although the paper may not review all the evaluations of CPTED, it nonetheless provides a detailed compilation and overview of the most significant research in the area using a structured literature review. Practical implications – CPTED is an increasingly fashionable approach and is being implemented on a global scale
