Techniques for Preventing Crime Numerous factors, including social, political, and economic ones in addition to environmental ones, have an impact on crime. Humans have a basic need for security and safety. The rate of crime in India's cities has been steadily rising, and efforts to lower it are working. People are drawn to dwell in this neighborhood by its cosmopolitan lifestyle, spacious roadways, cutting-edge amenities, and serene surroundings, yet these same attributes also make it susceptible to criminal activity. Because the police do not respond to crimes in a timely manner, many of them go unreported and ignored. Criminologist C. Ray Jeffery developed the idea of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in 1971. Other notable criminologists who supported the idea included Timothy D. Crow, C. Ray Jeffery, architect Oscar Newman, Jane Jacobs, and Schlomo Angel. First proposed by criminologist C. Ray Jeffery in 1971, the idea of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) was further developed by renowned criminologists Timothy D. Crow, C. Ray Jeffery, architect Oscar Newman, Jane Jacobs, and Schlomo Angel. The main factors that determine safety and security in an urban setting are (i) surveillance will someone committing a crime be seen by anyone? (ii) access how easy is it to enter and exit a place? and (iii) territoriality does anyone care about what goes on around them, or is there a sense of belonging to the space among the users? Building layouts, street designs, public spaces, and public facilities can all be addressed at the urban design level to influence both the likelihood of crime and the fear of it. The authors do, however, recognize several commendable initiatives in Indian places such as Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Surat, where improved surveillance techniques combined with community involvement have transformed the urban landscape and significantly increased public safety. In order to address security concerns in Indian cities, this paper aims to identify the factors that lead to criminal activity within an urban area. It also emphasizes the importance of crime prevention strategies and the applicability of environmental criminology to Pandesara city planning and management practices.
