It shows how, through integrating simple crime prevention principles in the design process, it is possible, almost without notice, to make residential environments much safer.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten from the perspective of an architect and town planner, this book offers practical design guidelines through a set of accessible case studies drawn from the UK, USA, The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Each example illustrates how success comes when design solutions reflect local characteristics and where communities are truly sustainable; where residents feel they belong, and where crime is dealt with as part of the bigger picture of urban design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Colquhoun\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138172650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138172654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/26\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Ian Colquhoun","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48449276215551,"sku":"9781138172654","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_df5c7ce2-bf90-476f-aa2c-4ff57e48acce.jpg?v=1777262672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/design-out-crime-ian-colquhoun-9781138172654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
