Question
What is the PRIMARY objective of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED)?
Options
- ADecreasing cyber-crime though appropriate corporate green policies
- BCreate safer workspaces through green design elements
- CCreate safer workspaces through passive design elements
- DUsing the latest green data center technologies to improve cyber-security
Explanation
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is a multidisciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. It includes strategies such as improving lighting, landscaping, and building design to reduce opportunities for crime (see ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 3, Module 2). For example, improving lighting in dark areas such as sidewalks or parking lots can deter potential criminals who prefer to operate in the shadows. The remaining options mention green technologies and policies. While these are important for many aspects of a building's operation or for reducing the organization's carbon footprint, they are not directly related to the primary goal of CPTED. Finally, reducing cybercrime through corporate green policies is incorrect because CPTED focuses on the physical environment, not cyber strategies. Green policies, while important, relate to environmental sustainability and not directly to crime deterrence.
