Download or read book Design Against Crime written by Caroline L. Davey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Against Crime will aid the design profession to meet the challenges presented by the competing needs and complex systems around crime and security. It proposes that designers should use their creative talents to develop innovative solutions to security problems that contribute to the ongoing fight against crime. The authors first explain the design against crime approach to security and security. They go on to provide practical advice on addressing crime and insecurity within the design process and offer practical examples of design being applied to security and safety. They also examine crime victimisation from a global perspective, highlighting the benefits worldwide of reducing opportunities for crime, including issues of national security, such as terrorism and natural disasters. A design-led, human-centred approach provides a way forward that is both aspirational and practical. The book is aimed primarily at design professionals, educators and students interested in safety and security, from all design disciplines, including product design, architecture, service design and communication design. The book should also be read by crime prevention experts, planners, local authorities, managers of urban environments and policymakers.

Download or read book Design Out Crime written by Ian Colquhoun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a book about the practical design of communities and housing in which people can enjoy a good quality of life, free from crime and fear of crime. Recognising that crime, vandalism and anti-social behaviour are issues of high public concern, and that the driving forces behind crime are numerous, this book argues that good design can help tackle many of these issues. It shows how, through integrating simple crime prevention principles in the design process, it is possible, almost without notice, to make residential environments much safer. Written from the perspective of an architect and town planner, this book offers practical design guidelines through a set of accessible case studies drawn from the UK, USA, The Netherlands and Scandinavia. Each example illustrates how success comes when design solutions reflect local characteristics and where communities are truly sustainable; where residents feel they belong, and where crime is dealt with as part of the bigger picture of urban design.

Download or read book Your Code as a Crime Scene written by Adam Tornhill and published by Pragmatic Bookshelf. This book was released on 2015-03-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack the Ripper and legacy codebases have more in common than you'd think. Inspired by forensic psychology methods, you'll learn strategies to predict the future of your codebase, assess refactoring direction, and understand how your team influences the design. With its unique blend of forensic psychology and code analysis, this book arms you with the strategies you need, no matter what programming language you use. Software is a living entity that's constantly changing. To understand software systems, we need to know where they came from and how they evolved. By mining commit data and analyzing the history of your code, you can start fixes ahead of time to eliminate broken designs, maintenance issues, and team productivity bottlenecks. In this book, you'll learn forensic psychology techniques to successfully maintain your software. You'll create a geographic profile from your commit data to find hotspots, and apply temporal coupling concepts to uncover hidden relationships between unrelated areas in your code. You'll also measure the effectiveness of your code improvements. You'll learn how to apply these techniques on projects both large and small. For small projects, you'll get new insights into your design and how well the code fits your ideas. For large projects, you'll identify the good and the fragile parts. Large-scale development is also a social activity, and the team's dynamics influence code quality. That's why this book shows you how to uncover social biases when analyzing the evolution of your system. You'll use commit messages as eyewitness accounts to what is really happening in your code. Finally, you'll put it all together by tracking organizational problems in the code and finding out how to fix them. Come join the hunt for better code! What You Need: You need Java 6 and Python 2.7 to run the accompanying analysis tools. You also need Git to follow along with the examples.

Download or read book Corrections and Collections written by Joe Day and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America holds more than two million inmates in its prisons and jails, and hosts more than two million daily visits to museums, figures which represent a ten-fold increase in the last twenty-five years. Corrections and Collections explores and connects these two massive expansions in our built environment. Author Joe Day shows how institutions of discipline and exhibition have replaced malls and office towers as the anchor tenants of U.S. cities. Prisons and museums, though diametrically opposed in terms of public engagement, class representation, and civic pride, are complementary structures, employing related spatial and visual tactics to secure and array problematic citizens or priceless treasures. Our recent demand for museums and prisons has encouraged architects to be innovative with their design, and experimental with their scale and distribution through our cities. Contemporary museums are the petri dishes of advanced architectural speculation; prisons remain the staging grounds for every new technology of constraint and oversight. Now that criminal and creative transgression are America’s defining civic priorities, Corrections and Collections will recalibrate your assumptions about art, architecture, and urban design.

Download or read book Rebuilding Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design written by Taylor & Francis Group and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a practice-oriented approach to reduce the risk of offences such as burglary and fear of crime by modifying the built environment. In recent years, this approach has been criticised for duplicating terminology and for failing to integrate successfully with other approaches. Rebuilding Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design explores and extends the common ground between CPTED and situational crime prevention - another traditional approach in the field of crime prevention and security - via the latter's evolution into the field of crime science. Drawing on international research to develop new interdisciplinary perspectives, this volume explores how situational crime prevention and environmental criminological theories relate to those of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design and considers how crime science can be reformulated to merge different approaches, or at least articulate them better. Rebuilding Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design will appeal to students, applied academic researchers and practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding and contribute in turn to the ongoing revitalisation of the field.
Download or read book Design Against Crime written by Barry Poyner and published by Butterworth-Heinemann. This book was released on 1983 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book begins with a survey of crime trends, levels of different kinds of crime, related social issues and the resulting costs, both human and financial, that design can help to reduce. Part 1 continues by weighing up more and less traditional approaches to crime prevention, whether they be police led (detection, punishment and treatment), planning led, spatially led (through Space Syntax principles, for example), or community led. The authors then explain how the Design Against Crime initiative has developed from security-focused design solutions to more proactive design-led approaches to crime reduction. Part 2 presents examples of design solutions to crime problems in the form of case studies explaining the processes used and the resulting benefits. Examples include both products and environments: seating, bus shelters, tamperproof containers, personal safety devices, window blinds, housing and multistorey car parks, amongst others. In Part 3 Design against Crime steps back to draw together lessons and guidelines from the case studies and related research, formulating a design process for addressing crime through design. The authors evaluate the different methodologies used in both local and national contexts. The last two chapters define future drivers and suggest ways in which legislation and market-driven approaches are required to cope with future problems, including terrorism and crime related to new technologies.

Book excerpt: An unprecedented homage to modernist architecture from the 1920s up to the present day Ornament Is Crime is a celebration and a thought-provoking reappraisal of modernist architecture. The book proposes that modernism need no longer be confined by traditional definitions, and can be seen in both the iconic works of the modernist canon by Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, and Walter Gropius, as well as in the work of some of the best contemporary architects of the twenty-first century. This book is a visual manifesto and a celebration of the most important architectural movement in modern history.
