This class will offer an overview of CPTED strategies and implementation strategies, to include the vital elements of Defensible Space and Situational Crime Prevention Theories. Students will learn how to differentiate between three levels of historic property designation (federal, state, and local), and what the incentives and limitations are for each type of listing. With the knowledge that locally designated properties and districts are regulated by their respective local legislative bodies, participants are provided an opportunity to examine various historic design guidelines from the region using a CPTED lens. In doing so, participants will not only learn what to expect from guidelines as far as architectural and site design elements are concerned, but will be able to discern between ways in which historic preservation regulations aid in the furtherance of CPTED strategies, and ways in which it hinders its implementation. Crime prevention practitioners should have the ability to integrate their ability to analyze historic district guidelines into security assessment processes they offer to the public. Participants should leave with helpful resources in addition to an appreciation for the historic preservation process, the absence of resources that exist for the owners of locally designated properties in order to meet the goals of preservation and security, and ways in which law enforcement can help make a difference in historic communities without compromising their longevity.
