A Study on Evaluation Model Development of School Facilities’ Crime Prevention Design



Crimes that occur in the school vary from the violence among students to the crimes by outside intruders. Moreover, there is a growing trend of increase in crimes. Among the various institutional and administrative efforts amid social interests to prevent crime, this study was conducted to find ways to prevent crimes in terms of school facilities. Although Studies and guidelines on crime prevention through environmental design (‘CPTED’) of school facilities have been presented recently, most of them are reflected to the new buildings, and most of existing schools are with facilities and environment vulnerable to CPTED and haven’t been reaping substantial effect comparing cost investment by merely depending on CCTV, private security companies, school guards, and school sheriff.

Therefore, this study was aimed to develop practical evaluation model that can help existing schools to self-diagnose their facilities and environmental territory that are vulnerable to crime, and prescribe future improvement measures.
