What is it about?
We know what we, as academics, think CPTED is and we know how effective we consider it to be. But what do burglars think? This paper explores the perceptions of a sample of 22 incarcerated burglars, asking them to review of series of images of residential housing and to comment on the features that attract and deter them.
