Fig. 2. Entering details for an event.
Figure 2 shows a screen with details for an occurrence. Completing the details and
adding pictures is a task that can be performed at any time and helps improve the quality
of information.
There will be several authorization levels in the platform, so that only some users
will be able to monitor and edit the entered data. An administrator will manage
permissions and users.
3. Legal issues: an overview
As CPTED has a strong connection to city planning, some of the implications for
planning and policy development should be addressed. Some authors [18] discuss the
“dark side” of the CPTED, by analogy to the dark side in planning and architecture. This
dark side in planning refers to the vision of planning as an oppressive mechanism of
social control. The authors argue that given that CPTED has close links to planning, its
dark side should also be analysed.
Although we understand the concerns, we should point out that CPTED in itself, if used
properly, that is, respecting the fundamental rights enshrined in legal instruments such
as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Portuguese
constitution, could prove to be an invaluable instrument to crime prevention. The key
issue here is to strike a delicate balance between security, liberty and privacy,
maximizing to the extent that is possible each one of these values without denying their
fundamental core. It is a difficult task, but not an impossible one.
Besides this overarching issue, others arise from the CPTED:
• Should the CPTED database be opened to all citizens? Should citizens access all
CPTED information concerning their neighborhood? Could this bring some form
of discrimination based on lack of or of excessive crime prevention?
