Natural Surveillance |
Involves designing windows, lightingand landscaping to improve your ability, and everyone else's ability, toobserve what is going on inside and around your business. Through clever designyou can not only make your business a less attractive target, you can increasethe likelihood of detecting a criminal at work. |

|
Territorial Reinforcement |
Territorialreinforcement uses design and use of sidewalks, landscaping, and porches tocreate a border between private and public property. These are not meant toprevent anyone from physically entering, but to create a feeling ofterritoriality and send a message to offenders that the property belongs tosomeone and they should stay out. |
