For the purpose of this document three basic criminological approaches are adopted: Rational Choice This approach assumes that potential offenders undertake their own risk assessment before deciding to commit a crime. They consider the chances of being seen, the ease of entry and the chance of escape without detection. Routine Activities This theory assumes that for an offence to take place there needs to be three factors present; a motivated offender, a suitable target or victim and a lack of capable guardian. To affect the potential for crime, it is necessary to consider each of these factors. An offender can be deterred by increasing surveillance or making access more difficult. A target can be made less attractive by increasing the security or removing escape routes. The presence or influence of a capable guardian, either real or implied, can be improved by office and shop design and the location of staff. Defensible space This approach applies to the different levels of acceptance that exist for people to be legitimately in different types of space. Anyone has a right to be in a public space, for example a street, but not in a private space such as the rear yard of a shop or office storeroom. Understanding these three principles can affect the desire and ability to commit a crime. The majority of property crimes are committed because offenders have been given opportunities. Easy access to a shop or office, concealed areas, no demarcation between public and private space, poor lighting or landscaping features can all assist the potential offender. All of these features can be designed to benefit legitimate users and not potential offenders. By helping to understand the thinking of the offender and balancing this against both symbolic and real design features, combined with specific physical security measures, the document aims to assist designers, planners, shop and office owners or managers and crime prevention practitioners. In the most simple of terms, the more vulnerable and at risk a potential offender feels, the less inclined they are to commit a crime.

It applies to both new and existing shops and offices. Recommended levels of security for commodities stocked in retail outlets are given in Annex A. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 14383-1:2006, Prevention of crime - Urban planning and building design - Part 1: Definition of specific terms 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the terms and definitions given in EN 14383-1:2006 and the following apply. 3.1 Burglar resistance Property of door, window or shutter assembly that enables it to resist attempts at forced entry into a protected room or area. 4 Planning and design 4.1 General Building security can broadly be defined as the use of the site layout, fabric and form of a building to protect the occupants and their possessions from harm. Key design factors include physical layout, location of doors and windows, control of access and movement, formal and informal human surveillance. Manipulating these elements of architectural design with an awareness of their impact on security at the design stage, can achieve significant gains in controlling crime and nuisance behaviour. Professionals with appropriate crime prevention expertise should be included in the design team (see 4.2) and should be involved to ensure that crime prevention factors are included in the design. 4.2 Designing to include safety and security The design team should consider the various factors that can influence the opportunity to commit crime. Amongst the most important of these are: a) ownership; b) human presence; c) conflict minimisation. It is essential that the design of public space be such that people begin to regard it as their own and take responsibility for it. If this can be achieved, crime and antisocial behaviour are less likely to occur, or continue without the public reacting to it.

Therefore, human presence and natural surveillance are very important. Where possible, mixed usage of units should be encouraged as it prolongs life and movement throughout an extended period of the day. Street furniture should be designed to enable clear sight lines and provide wide natural surveillance. For the same reasons, buildings should front onto public space. Fear of crime, whether real or perceived needs to be considered and the design of the environment should reflect this. Any design feature that could possibly give rise to a potential conflict situation should be avoided. Safe and integrated environmental design will encourage the use of spaces by engendering a feeling of security. 4.3 Risk analysis 4.3.1 General Any crime prevention strategy is essentially one of risk management. Consequently, before an effective strategy can be developed, it is important to identify and understand the risk factors involved. 4.3.2 Local factors When assessing the level of risk it is essential to give high priority to local factors by carrying out a diagnosis. This may involve carrying out an analysis survey of crime in the immediate neighbourhood, to identify the type of crime reported, where and when incidents occurred and who the victims were. This may be achieved by spatial mapping to identify crime clustering or hot spots. It is also important to be aware that factors which may influence the opportunity for crime may not necessarily be in the immediate locality. For example, a convenient route linking two features attractive to young people may pass through a commercial area. Although the features themselves may be some distance away from the shops or offices, the presence of relatively large numbers of people using the route may influence the possibility of crime. Where the development is on a new site, it may be that there has been no previous crime problem or records do not exist. In these cases it is important to consider the proposed development in terms of potential crime generation, i.e. what crime or antisocial behaviour could reasonably be anticipated after completion? Guidance on methods for assessing the risk of crime and methods aimed at reducing these risks in neighbourhoods, town centres and industrial estates, is given in ENV 14383-2 (see also Clause 5). 4.4 Image of the neighbourhood The first impressions gained by a potential offender have the greatest influence on their decision to offend or not. Although a shopping or commercial centre that appears well maintained may give an impression of affluence it is also true that it can give an equally strong impression that the people who work there take pride in the area and are more likely to be vigilant and protective. A commercial development that encourages the occupants to work together as a community, to take combined action to improve the environment against potential offenders, is likely to result in less crime and an improvement in the quality of life for the users. There are two good ways to achieve this: a) By defining the development to give it a clear identity; b) By ensuring the maximum permissible surveillance from property to property. Pot
