SAFER SCHOOLS Session 3
REVIEW: NATURAL SURVEILLANCE NATURAL SURVEILLANCE in an environment allows people to see and be seen. NS deters crime because people do not want to be seen committing offences. NS can be improved by: - using materials that people can see through - designing environments where people have clear sightlines - encouraging people to use the environment so there are more people seeing what is happening in that environment.
REVIEW: ACCESS MANAGEMENT ACCESS MANAGEMENT: focuses on clear, direct walkways and clear signage deters crime because it reduces the possibility of offenders making excuses for where they shouldn t be.
