The Expanding Role of CPTED in Premises Liability

[1996] Victims of crime are seeking compensation from the owners and managers of properties on which crime takes place with increasing frequency. In these court cases, commonly known as premises liability cases, juries are being told that the crime was the result of a perpetrator’s ability to take advantage of a lack of security in a certain building or property.
