Describe what is meant by "second-generation" CPTED

What will be an ideal response?


While CPTED seeks to prevent crime by examining basic elements such as access control and natural surveillance, second-generation CPTED looks at several social aspects of how neighborhoods work:

• Size of the district, population density, and differentiation of buildings. There is an environmental influence on social interaction.
• Urban meeting places. The lack of such places can make urban spaces empty and dangerous, which is why regional shopping malls fail to become places of community gathering.
• Youth clubs. The creation of youth clubs has been a crime prevention and community-building strategy since the Chicago Area Project of the 1930s and can provide activities, meeting places, and life skills training.

Second-generation CPTED also involves the idea of an ecological threshold, or what is called the neighborhood "tipping point." The fundamental idea is that a neighborhood, just like a natural ecosystem, has the capacity to contain only so much; too much of something and the system will collapse.
