Within Crime prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) the concept of territoriality is BEST described
as:

ownership.

B.

Explanation:
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (“CPTED”) is the design, maintenance, and use of the built
environment in order to enhance quality of life and to reduce both the incidence and fear of crime.
Territoriality means providing clear designation between public, private, and semi-private areas and makes it
easier for people to understand, and participate in, an area’s intended use. Territoriality communicates a sense
of active “ownership” of an area that can discourage the perception that illegal acts may be committed in the
area without notice or consequences. The use of see-through screening, low fencing, gates, signage, different
pavement textures, or other landscaping elements that visually show the transition between areas intended fordifferent uses are examples of the principle of territoriality.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Protecting specific areas with different measures is not a description of the CPTED concept of territoriality.
Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: Localized emissions are not a description of the CPTED concept of territoriality. Therefore, this answer is
incorrect.
D: Compromise of the perimeter is not a description of the CPTED concept of territoriality. Therefore, this
answer is incorrect.
