In the CPTED framework, community applies to corporate campuses, universities, healthcare facilities, schools, and neighborhoods, to name a few. Community is not merely defined by physical proximity or shared space.
CPTED and problem solving go hand in hand when it comes to reducing crime and creating safer, more resilient communities. While traditional crime response models focus on enforcement and reaction, CPTED emphasizes prevention by reshaping the environment.
