CPTED (pronounced sep-ted) proposes that the design of buildings, landscaping, and outdoor
environments can encourage or discourage crime. To reduce crime and crime fear, CPTED
reduces criminal opportunity and promotes positive social interaction among users.The Prime
intention of the short article is to identify the CPTED concept and its usage for later research.
The related duration of the previous studies were 2015 to 2020; 10 articles were considered
as the secondary resources.
Vasquez et al. (2020) examined the research of ‘Appointment Robbery: Do Crime Pre-
vention Through Environmental Design Strategies Work? Voices from the Street’ that whether
or not offenders were deterred from engaging in criminal behaviour resulted from implement-
ing CPTED strategies by conducting interviews with 12 active robbers from a metropolitan
area in Texas. The findings of this study indicate that offenders indicated that territoriality,
natural surveillance, activity support, and access control all acted as deterrents when deciding
to commit robbery. The study examined Jeffery’s original CPTED theory from 1971. The
