fear and violence-related behaviors in
school, then it may be used as the basis
for research, design, and evaluation of
interventions for schools seeking to
prevent or reduce the occurrence of
crime and violence by providing
information related to (re)designing
physical features of the environment
and changing policies and procedures
related to using the school environment.
In addition, an exploratory purpose of
this research is to determine whether
the CSA items can be divided reliably
into supposedly distinct variables
reflecting each of the CPTED principles.
If we produce practical support for the
assessment of these ‘‘CPTED variables,’’
then we will also assess validity by
determining whether these variables are
logically related to our measures of fear,
violence and climate in schools.
Survey data from one counselor and
75 students (25 each from 6th, 7th, and
8th grades) will be collected from 50
middle schools in metro-Atlanta,
Georgia area (a total of approximately 50
counselor participants and 3,750
student participants), in addition to the
observational (CSA) data collection. The
counselor and student survey will
assess variables such as school climate,
actual and perceived levels of school
violence at each school. In addition,
archival/administrative data will be
collected from each of the 50 schools
providing information on neighborhood
and school characteristics from various
sources (e.g., school data reported by the
school on a ‘‘School Profile’’ form,
school district data available on the
web, U.S. Census data, and the FBI
National Crime and Victimization
Survey).
There are no costs to respondents
except for their time to participate in the
surveys.

burden of the collection of information

Crime Prevention Through
Environmental Design: Linking
Observed School Environments with
Student and School-wide Experiences of
Violence and Fear—New—National
Center for Injury Prevention (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Among the goals of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),
National Center for Injury Prevention
(NCIPC) and Control is to reduce the
prevalence of violence among youth.
Several important priorities included in
the Center’s published research agenda
focus on studying how physical
environments influence behavior and
risk for violence. The CDC has
developed a tool called the Crime
Prevention Through Environmental
Design (CPTED) School Assessment
(CSA) to assess the extent to which the
physical characteristics of schools are
consistent with Crime Prevention
Through Environmental Design (CPTED)
principles.
The proposed research will allow us
to determine the validity of the CSA by
examining the extent to which the CSA
subscales, total CSA scores, and CPTED
principles are related to typical
variables related to fear and violence. If
the CSA tool is shown to measure
characteristics of the school
environment that are associated with
