Proposed Project 

Crime Prevention Through 

Environmental Design: Linking 

Observed School Environments with 

Student and School-wide Experiences of 

Violence and Fear—New—National 

Center for Injury Prevention (NCIPC), 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

Among the goals of the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 

National Center for Injury Prevention 

(NCIPC) and Control is to reduce the 

prevalence of violence among youth. 

Several important priorities included in 

the Center’s published research agenda 

focus on studying how physical 

environments influence behavior and 

risk for violence. The CDC has 

developed a tool called the Crime 

Prevention Through Environmental 

Design (CPTED) School Assessment 

(CSA) to assess the extent to which the 

physical characteristics of schools are 

consistent with Crime Prevention 

Through Environmental Design (CPTED) 

principles. 

The proposed research will allow us 

to determine the validity of the CSA by 

examining the extent to which the CSA 

subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED 

principles are related to typical 

variables related to fear and violence. If 

the CSA tool is shown to measure 

characteristics of the school 

environment that are associated with 

fear and violence-related behaviors in 

school, then it may be used as the basis 

for research, design, and evaluation of 

interventions for schools seeking to 

prevent or reduce the occurrence of 

crime and violence by providing 

information related to (re)designing 

physical features of the environment 

and changing policies and procedures 

related to using the school environment. 

In addition, an exploratory purpose of 

this research is to determine whether 

the CSA items can be divided reliably 

into supposedly distinct variables 

reflecting each of the CPTED principles. 

If we produce practical support for the 

assessment of these ‘‘CPTED variables,’’

then we will also assess validity by 

determining whether these variables are 

logically related to our measures of fear, 

violence and climate in schools. 

Survey data from one counselor and 

75 students (25 each from 6th, 7th, and 

8th grades) will be collected from 50 

middle schools in metro-Atlanta, 

Georgia area (a total of approximately 50 

counselor participants and 3,750 

student participants), in addition to the 

observational (CSA) data collection. The 

counselor and student survey will 

assess variables such as school climate, 

actual and perceived levels of school 

violence at each school. In addition, 

archival/administrative data will be 

collected from each of the 50 schools 

providing information on neighborhood 

and school characteristics from various 

sources (e.g., school data reported by the 

school on a ‘‘School Profile’’ form, 

school district data available on the 

web, U.S. Census data, and the FBI 

National Crime and Victimization 

Survey). 

There are no costs to respondents 

except for their time to participate in the 

surveys.
