The Centre

Independent, evidence-led CPTED.

We work in research, training and consultancy — helping practitioners and organisations design places that are safer because they work socially, not just physically. Our advice is grounded in current environmental-crime research rather than received wisdom.

Members of the Police Crowded Places Forum. Training delivered to governments, institutions and practitioners internationally.
