What will be an ideal response?
1. Natural surveillance involves the placement of physical features that maximize visibility.
Example:
The strategic use of windows that look out on the school entrance so that students can see into the
school and know that others can see them.
2. Access management involves guiding people by using signs, well-marked entrances and exits,
and landscaping. It may also include limiting access to certain areas by using real or symbolic
barriers.
Example: Landscaping that reduces access to unsupervised locations on the school grounds.
3. Territoriality is defined by a clear delineation of space, expressions of pride or ownership, and
the creation of a welcoming environment. Example: Motivational signs, displays of student art,
and the use of school colors to create warmth and express pride.
4. Physical maintenance includes repair and general upkeep of space. Example: Removing
graffiti in restrooms in a timely manner and making the necessary repairs to restrooms, light
fixtures, and stairways to maintain safety and comfort.
5. Order maintenance involves attending to minor unacceptable acts and providing measures that
clearly state acceptable behaviors. Example: Maintaining an obvious adult presence during all
times as students move from one location to another.
