environment; then we highlight some of the legal issues related to the use and misuse of the CPTED data and of the CPTED framework itself; we conclude with final remarks about these issues and planned future developments. 1.1. CPTED CPTED is a design philosophy built around a set of principles, first defined by Ray Jeffery in 1971 [8] and by Oscar Newman in 1972 [14]. Currently, these principles are presented by the National Crime Prevention Council [13] as follows: • Natural surveillance, • Natural access control, • Territorial reinforcement, and • Maintenance and management. When correctly applied and enforced, CPTED principles aid in deterring crime and improving quality of life. Several cities and communities around the word adopted and implemented CPTED programs [5][12]. Several versions of CPTED exist and have been developed over the years. Recently the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) published a European Standard to unify the different versions and to provide a uniform approach to CPTED, referred as the CEN 14383 series [1][2]. The standard delivers guidelines on crime prevention by urban planning and design for all types of urban environments. It seeks the answer to three questions: where, giving the exact localization of the target area; what, giving the general identification of crime problems occurring in that area, as well as the propensity of that area toward attracting crime and incivilities, anti-social behavior and generating fear of crime; and who, identifying the stakeholders involved in defining the crime problems, review them and be responsible to implement the measures to avoid or reduce crime. The CEN 14383 series includes the following publications: 1. Terms and definitions (EN 14383-1:2006) 2. Urban planning (ENV 14383-2:2003 superseded by TR 14383-2:2007) 3. Dwellings (TS 14383-3:2005) 4. Shops and offices (TS 14383-4:2006 5. Petrol stations (TR 14383-5: 2010) 6. Safety in schools (not yet available) 7. Facilities for public transport (TR 14383-7:2009) 8. Protection of buildings and sites against criminal attacks with vehicles (TR 14383-8:2009) The standard’s guidelines and strategies are used as a starting point to characterize urban spaces in the web platform, giving the end user a set of choices. Besides characterization, the user can also attach pictures and observations; upon use of the mobile application, that information is readily geo-tagged. 1.2. The LookCrim application The LookCrim application gathers geo-tagged information enriched with the CPTED characteristics. The application stores diverse kind of data about locations for further P.M.Freitasetal. / SmartCitiesandSecurity–APreventiveApproach 217
