		<title>Play Me, I&#8217;m Yours</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I have spoken in two small Central Alberta Communities about Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).  During these presentations, it&#8217;s difficult not to address more than just the &#8220;traditional&#8221; principles and talk about a more holistic solution &#8211; 2nd Generation CPTED. Today, marked the launch of a two-week project in New York, which will [...]]]></description>

		<title>Symptoms of At Risk Communities</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Vandalism, graffiti, loitering and other forms of nuisance crimes are usually the first symptoms of a community at risk.
The big question of course is how to approach these issues. Do we place sole responsibility on the police, social agencies, communities or the government? There is always more than one way to solve a problem. Relying [...]]]></description>

		<title>CPTED Works Great But What&#8217;s Missing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is no doubt that Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is effective and that many communities are embracing it more today than ever before.  Although it&#8217;s methodology continues to evolve, there is often a few important things missing &#8211; Leadership, Social Planning and Community Support. It&#8217;s these things that make CPTED a recipe for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Getting Creative About Community Safety</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Isn’t it interesting how, when people have been traveling to the world’s most popular tourist destinations, they come home with tales about great streets? Colourful memories about buskers, street artists, great little restaurants, unique shops selling stuff that’s cool and original.
Some of those same people, once home from New York and Paris and Montreal and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radical Common Sense To Prevent Crime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Guest Feature by Greg Saville
When Steve asked me to contribute to this blog a line from a famous play came to mind. With apologies to Skakespeare: If our prevention cause is just and our method of achieving it honorable, &#8220;methinks I could not die anywhere so contented as in the king’s company&#8221;. Steve will no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Community Partnerships Help Reduce Crime</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, I completed a rather large Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) project. During this process, considerable research was required and several best practices were explored. If we are to become truly &#8220;engaged&#8221; in our communities and seek out new methods of crime reduction &#8211; we must explore other alternatives.
This reminds me in many ways [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fear of Crime and Risk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ This subject is nothing new and for crime prevention practitioners it&#8217;s always being discussed in various circles. It can quickly spread like a virus and is often what prompts the call for more police officers, CPTED assessments, target hardening measures, cameras, alarm systems and the list goes on. You can&#8217;t discuss the fear of [...]]]></description>
