Natural And Mechanical Security Attributes For House Break-In Prevention In Penang Hotspots

An extensive body of knowledge supports the effectiveness of crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) on house break-in prevention. CPTED consists of natural attributes which are provided by designing the elements of the house in such a way to prevent break-ins and mechanical attributes...

CPTED consists of natural attributes which are provided by designing the elements of the house in such a way to prevent break-ins and mechanical attributes which include after built security installations such as alarms and CCTV. However, most studies have focused on the overall effect of CPTED on house break-ins. They have overlooked the individual effects of the natural & mechanical indicators & dimensions of CPTED. Therefore, more comprehensive research is required to explore the effect of natural CPTED versus mechanical CPTED. Hence, this study examined the impact of the natural and mechanical indicators and dimensions of CPTED on house break-in prevention. According to the literature, the ideal data for such a study could be obtained from the detached houses located on the hotspots which attract a higher number of break-in incidences. Hence, the house break-in data from the Penang Island’s police headquarter was mapped and analysed using the geographic information system and hotspot analysis technique. Consequently, neighbourhood A was selected as the study area possessing a high demographic number of detached houses.
