Very little has been written on how to measure the effectiveness of your CPTED program. Some work has been done in 2005 – see references for this material.
Let’s call the site in question “the complex” since CPTED covers the full spectrum.
You get three years of data from the local police department and from the complex. After a full assessment and review of the natural surveillance (Landscape Security) and natural access and territoriality, the complex hardens the target.
The job of security now must change to be more proactive. In the past crimes of the past three years are to be addressed and programs such as Awareness or Neighborhood are implemented followed by Security making monthly reports on status of aspects of physical security.
Obtaining results
After all of the above has been completed a d security is maintained at the highest level, you should have a reduction in crime risks and crime as well as a reduction in fear of crime. Then after three years, you compare the data with the previous three years to see your results (Fennelly & Perry 2016).
