System and method for securing an architectural environment against crime and minimizing criminal elements

摘要

A computer-implemented method is provided for analysing and designing a physical environment for discouraging criminal activity within the physical environment. The physical environment is assessed and risk factors are identified that make the physical environment vulnerable to criminal activity. In one embodiment, risks posed by the nature and location of the physical environment within a spatial footprint are calculated. Further, the physical environment is evaluated to identify physical elements of the environment that could make the structure vulnerable to criminal attacks. Risk scores assigned to all of these factors are then analyzed to generate a recommendation report for at least one of the physical elements. Deploying at least one of the recommendations in the report aids in improving a deterrent rating assigned to that physical element and subsequently integrity of the physical environment against criminal attacks.
