Hi Kaely!!
How are you? I was honestly drawn towards your poster because of your vibrant background and also the topic of research. I didn't even know that there was such a term as CPTED. I learned that by manipulating public spaces to feel more comfortable and safe, it could reduce crime. I would just like more clarification on what exactly is the environmental design changes enacted in the communities? Was it a change of buildings? Community Programs? A combination? Very interesting work!
Kaely,
I think your topic is what brings attention to it. Criminology is always an interesting topic and so learning about how small environmental changes can decrease crime is pretty neat. Is there any viable solution either over time or a quick solution that have thought of?
Hi Kaely,
As a Criminology and Criminal Justice major, I think that your research topic is so interesting. It's crazy to think that things like cameras or lights can prevent crime from happening in the first place and prevent the need of punishment. Do you think that it would cost the government less money to spend on infrastructures or installments like these than it does to incarcerate and punish people?
Hi Kaely, I was interested in your project because I have never heard of environmental design or its implications crime prevention. From your presentation, I learned that environmental design attempts to alter the space for people to promote safety and establish justice. I also learned that this design was successful to reducing crime rates and increasing safety and justice. I was wondering if this would apply to larger scales? DO you think this could apply to bigger and larger populated cities. I also wanted to know more about environmental designs like some examples of it.
Hi Kaely,
What drew me to your presentation was the unfamiliarity of it all. I have never read a paper discussing this topic so I was curious as to what you were going to say and how you were going to approach it. I learned that environmental design was positively correlated with safety and justice. My question is based on this countries history of racism. What kind of environmental designs are being put into place and does this disproportionately affect one race over the other.
