CPTED Workshop - A Resounding Success

Conducted at Docklands by Dr Garner Clancey (NSW) and Dr Leanne Monchuk (UK), the CPTED Workshop was well attended by delegates including representatives from security, healthcare, local government, education and business services.

The two presenters provided a global perspective through both theoretical and practical perspectives on Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.

Throughout the workshop, a number of small group discussions were provided so participants could contribute to existing knowledge and practices through their own learning and experience.

It was well noted that CPTED methodology can be an essential element within security risk assessments and that assessment of risk requires interdisciplinary competence for professionals involved in the provision of security and safety-related advice.

Participants were unanimous in endorsing this important workshop.
