Crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) is a multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. CPTED strategies rely upon the ability to influence offender decisions that precede criminal acts.  So in this episode, I get into detail as to what you an do to strengthen your resolve against criminal activity. CPTED was originally coined and formulated by criminologist C. Ray Jeffery. A more limited approach, termed defensible space, was developed concurrently by architect Oscar Newman. Both men built on the previous work of Elizabeth Wood, Jane Jacobs and Schlomo Angel.

Highlights:

  • The importance of a network of people in your neighborhood dedicated to security.

  • Tips to keep the perimeter and your interior of your home safe.
  • Where to start.
  • A checklist for securing your property.’

This podcast is one year old today! Thank you!

Whether you are a new prepper or experienced prepper, I think it’s safe to say that it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the task of getting ready for what may come. That’s why I’m convinced some people don’t do it. They want to, but it’s too overwhelming or they don’t know where to start. They also don’t want people to make fun of them so they don’t even try. Can you relate? Tune into this show for some tips on how to take it one step at a time. This show is inspired by an excellent blog post on The Survival Blog.

Highlights:

  • The social, political, and psychological themes encountered in TEOTWAWKI seems to make some people bristle, why?
  • The amount of information to be taken in, the sudden awareness of your vulnerability.
  • How to figure out “where to start?”
  • How to take it one step at a time.
  • How many preparations is enough?
  • Home Security Tips.
  • Why physical fitness should not be neglected.
  • Audio soundbite from Austin Adventure Boot Camp.
