[SOLVED] Application of Defensible Space

Application of Defensible Space [35 points]Choose a neighborhood to discuss. Since we are still corona-ed and cannot physically go observe a neighborhood, please either do this from memory and/or looking out a window. Alternatively, you can pick a neighborhood from a television show/movie that you recently watched. Then use the crime prevention concepts discussed in chapter 14 to assess the probable success of the neighborhood’s crime-prevention capabilities. Does the neighborhood have physical design features conducive to preventing crime? In order to help address this question, you should note the following:1. What neighborhood you are evaluating? Where is it (or what tv show/movie is it from)? [1 point]2. Discuss these design features of the neighborhood that might be related to crime prevention (just answer these in bullet points).A. The natural surveillance available:· What is the layout/design of the streets in the area (are there cul-de-sacs, one-way streets, etc. or a lot of 4-way intersections? Is traffic circulation easy or difficult? [1.5 points total]· What is the design and layout of the houses/buildings in the community vis-a-vis the street? Is it easy for people in different houses to see the streets and to watch each other’s property? Why or why not (e.g., landscaping interference; porches for viewing). [1.5 points total]· How is land used in the neighborhood? Is it primarily residential, or does it have a lot of non-residential uses? Describe. [1.5 points total]· Is there adequate lighting in the neighborhood? [1 point]B. The territoriality displayed:· Is it easy to get in and out of the neighborhood? Why or why not? [1 point total]· Are there walls, fences, landscaping, walkways, etc. serving to define boundaries? [1 point]· Is there signage in the area used to define appropriate use of space? [1 point· Are there areas designated for specific uses? [1 point]· Are there areas designated for community interaction? [1 point]C. The image of the area:· Is it a “clean” neighborhood or is it littered with trash, graffiti, etc.? [1 point]· What are the conditions of the buildings in the area? Well-kept or broken windows, loose shutters, etc.? [1 point] Noticeable vacancy? [1 point]· Are there abandoned cars on the roadways? How many? [1.5 points total]· Does the area appear to be quiet, or are there a lot of noises/noisy neighbors? What types of noises? [1.5 points total]· Are there groups of kids hanging out on the street? How many? [1.5 points total]· Are there signs of public drinking and/or drug use? [1 point]· Describe any other sources of physical or social incivilities. [1 point]D. The milieu/juxtaposition of the neighborhood:· What sorts of areas surround the neighborhood? [1 point]3. Based upon your environmental observations, would you expect effective crime prevention in this neighborhood, or in particular sections of this neighborhood? Why or why not? [5 points] Please link it in with at least one theory that we have discussed. [8 points]
