Levels: Graduate, Undergraduate Ft Lauderdale Campus Lecture Schedule Type Learning Objectives: Scope & Sequence The College of Design and Social Inquiry of Florida Atlantic University is offering an on-line/hybrid course to 3rd and 4th year (and sometimes masters) students focusing in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, criminal justice, public administration, and urban planning/design entitled: Designing Safe Communities with CPTED. The course will present recent research, contemporary theory, and current practical applications of designing for security, and anti-terrorism in the built environments for multi-family mixed-use housing, traditional neighborhood community planning, high-rise office buildings, commercial and retail terrorism using crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED). This course addresses the emerging threats of workplace violence, street crime, and terrorism, as it relates to homeland security and critical infrastructure protection. The course addresses the lessons learned from 9/11 and the subsequent collapse of the World Trade Centers, as well as, the national standards of care for security in the design, construction, and operation of new and existing buildings in both the public and private sectors. CPTED employs the strategies of natural access control, natural surveillance, and definition of ownership or territorial reinforcement. CPTED provides criminal justice planners, architects, urban planners, criminologists, and law enforcement with opportunities to enhance public safety, security, and general welfare by designing security into the built environment proactively. The course will discuss a broad range of intervention strategies within the context of potential impacts upon the quality of the built environment. Actual case studies in South Florida and nationally will be used as practical experience. Full student participation is encouraged. Skills learned in the course will be directly applicable to your field of study and practice of architecture, urban planning, crime prevention, and criminal justice. The Broward County CPTED Resolution states that architects need to have on the their design teams individuals trained and certified in CPTED through an approved course taught by the Florida Attorney General’s Office, the National Crime Prevention Institute, or a course of study offered by an accredited university or college. FAU qualifies as that. As part of the CPTED resolution, all site plans shall undergo CPTED review for all uses by CPTED trained law enforcement officers and staff from the Broward Planning and Growth Department, except for one-family single dwellings. This FAU course fulfills the requirements to obtain certification and can be used in meeting the Broward County and 20 + other cities and counties in Florida that have those requirements for CPTED certification for new architecture projects. Therefore, there is direct application of your gained knowledge and skills in the real world and workplace. This class will cover the following topics: • Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design • Critical Infrastructure Protection • Risk Threat Assessment • Security Lighting • LEED, GREEN, and Sustainability impact of building security • Security Codes and Standards • Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND) and New Urbanism impact on community safety This course is designed to use Authentic Assessment Methods for students that: 1. Promotes integration of various written and performance measures; 2. Relies on direct measures of target skills that include plan reading, crime analysis, and risk assessment; 3. The goal is to enhance development of meaningful skills of crime prevention with CPTED and risk analysis; 4. Assessment directs the curriculum; 5. Emphasis on ensuring proficiency at real world tasks of problem seeking, analysis, and solving; 6. Promotes “how” to knowledge and skills of CPTED; 7. Provides an examination of learning over the time of the semester; 8. Emphasizes cooperation and collaboration of the disciplines for achieving the goal of designing safer cities; 9. Prepares students for ambiguities and exceptions that are found in realistic problem settings of the fields of architecture, criminal justice, urban planning, and public administration; 10. Priority is given on the learning sequence or process of CPTED not just problem solving. Course Learning Objectives After successful completion of this class, the student will be able to: • Demonstrate techniques that prevent crime and enhance public safety. • Identify the key components of critical infrastructure and their impact on security. • Analyze architectural drawings and site plans for crime opportunities and develop mitigation strategies. • Demonstrate skills in conducting risk threat vulnerability assessment. • Demonstrate the relationship between a safe workplace environment and employee behavior. • Develop policy and procedures for enhanced security operation. • Create a security assessment for a building of their choosing using CPTED and Homeland Security Vulnerability Assessment for Critical Infrastructure. • Choose appropriate security design mitigation measures as a response to site inspections and plan review. • Demonstrate design, organizational, and mechanical techniques that foster security with a comprehensive all hazards approach of CPTED. • Apply CPTED principles and techniques in their area of academic study. • Demonstrate an understanding of CPTED theory, practice, and applications to various building environments. • Evaluation and assessment of knowledge gained be through the application will be in the form of a real world field survey - a security CPTED risk assessment of a building of your choosing. Required Materials: Course Material(s) Required Material(s) The course does have a required textbook, and there will be other resources (e.g., websites, articles, etc.) that will be required throughout the course. These resources will be linked within the applicable learning units and/or modules. It is required that you purchase the textbook for class and materials from within it will be on your final exam and needed for your class projects. The class textbook is: Atlas, Randy. (2013) 21st Century Security and CPTED. 2nd Edition. CRC Press. Taylor and Francis Group. Boca Raton. Supplemental Material(s) All supplemental materials and resources will be listed within the applicable learning units and/or modules on BlackBoard. Please check each unit or module for them. Other Material(s) There are opportunities throughout the course that relevant current events can be used to supplant and supplement course topics. Current events can be gotten from newspapers, Internet news services, or other media means. When you find a relevant current event copy that article and give a brief description of the event and how it relates to you and the class.
