Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a multi-disciplinary approach of crime prevention that uses urban and architectural design and the management of built and natural environments. CPTED strategies aim to reduce victimization, deter offender decisions that precede criminal acts, and build a sense of community among inhabitants so they can gain territorial control of areas, reduce crime, and minimize fear of crime. CPTED is pronounced ‘sep-ted’ and it is also known around the world as Designing Out Crime, defensible space, and other similar terms. Promoting CPTED Globally & LocallyThe International CPTED Association - ICA is an international non-profit association registered in Calgary, Canada in 1996. The ICA promotes the use of CPTED globally and supports local organizations, practitioners and communities that utilise CPTED principles to create safer communities and environments. Upcoming Events

Position of the ICA in relation to recent social unrest and CPTED
As the President of the International CPTED Association, I want to offer the moral support of our non-profit organization to all those who suffer from recent incidents of violence and unrest around the world. We have been monitoring recent protests and riots regarding inequity, racism, political oppression and injustice. The pain and suffering from these events, and from the conditions that give rise to these events, is tragic and must be resolved.
