Share Your Case Study

Case studies are one of the most powerful ways to demonstrate how CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) strategies make a difference. They provide practical, real-world examples of how communities, organizations, and practitioners have applied CPTED principles to solve problems, reduce crime, and strengthen safety.

These stories are valuable at every level, from simple applications of basic CPTED concepts to more advanced strategies, and they can serve as a learning tool for people who are new to CPTED as well as experienced practitioners.

By sharing your project, you not only highlight your success but also help expand the knowledge base of CPTED professionals across the country. Each case study becomes a resource for others to learn from, adapt, and replicate in their own communities.

Benefits of contributing a case study include:

  • Inspiring other practitioners with practical examples and lessons learned.

  • Building professional credibility for you and your organization.

  • Contributing to the advancement of CPTED practice and research.

What Makes a Strong Case Study?

We encourage submissions that highlight:

  • The results — CPTED principals in action, reductions in crime, improvements in perception of safety, enhanced community engagement, or other measurable impacts.

  • The challenge or issue your community or organization faced.

  • Lessons learned that could benefit others implementing similar projects.

Your submission does not need to be lengthy or overly technical, just clear, practical, and focused on the role CPTED played.
