Photos/images of CPTED schools

  • 1.  Photos/images of CPTED schools

    Posted 11-04-2015 02:23 PM

    Hello CAE Colleagues,

        I am currently working on my dissertation research and will be surveying student perceptions of CPTED and Non-CPTED school designs. I need good photographic examples of areas around schools that represent CPTED principles (natural surveillance, access control, territoriality), as well as photos of schools lacking CPTED design. See below for a list of specific spaces I want to survey.

       If you or your firm have any images that you'd be willing to share, please send them to djlamoreaux@email.arizona.edu. Appropriate photo credits will of course be given.

      Please help me out with this important research! I hope to find that students prefer schools designed with CPTED principles, and we need hard data to share with the public.

    Thanks in advance for your help,

        Danny Lamoreux
