The influence of socio-enviromental design factors (SEDeF) of crime prevention on residential property values in Nigeria
The need to curb the soaring trend of residential neighbourhood crime considering its negative impact on the neighbourhood in general and property value in particular is seen not to be given the expected attention both in the academia and government setting. The consequences of residential neighbour...
