This manual describes how to create and maintain a secure, crime-resistant property. Community-based organizations and others that manage property will find this manual useful. It points out how virtually every aspect of a property has an impact on its sense of order and its resistance to crime and provides helpful information on how to encourage safety and security through the property's physical design, through the people that live and work there (resident screening, structuring the lease, nurturing resident associations) and through partnerships with police and other neighborhood stakeholders. A resources section includes a sample property management checklist, a sample incident report, Internet links to other helpful websites and a selected biography.
