The Effect of the Application of CPTED for the Prevention of Military Crime

Abstract

This research analyze the effect of the Application of CPTED and study improvement measures for the Prevention of Military Crime through various studies and CPTED application cases, military crime trends and crime trends. In particular, it was confirmed that the CPTED has a positive effect on military crime reduction, security and safety awareness through the first CPTED application case in the military. Therefore, this study suggested improvement measures to apply CPTED to the prevention of military crimes. First, it is the development of a CPTED-applied introduction model suitable for the military. In this study, a crime prevention activity model was presented in the order of pre-measures based on the CPTED principle, CPTED implementation, and follow-up management. Second, it is necessary to train CPTED experts (MCPO). Currently, the military lacks CPTED professionals necessary for CPTED application. In the future, it is essential to train experts for the operation of the Military Crime Prevention Officer (MCPO) of the military police. Third, it is necessary to form a CPTED consensus and activate a crime prevention consultative group. In order to successfully apply CPTED to the military, above all, responsibilities between crime prevention agents must be clearly defined and the consultative group must be reorganized and activated while forming a consensus on the application of CPTED among each agents. In this case, collaboration with specialized institutions inside and outside the military should also be carried out. Fourth, institutionalization for the application of CPTED to the military is necessary. In order to apply CPTED more systematically, it is important to expand the agents of crime prevention activities and clarify its responsibilities. To this end, the military also needs to establish a legal and institutional foundation and CPTED should be institutionalized by reflecting the concept of CPTED in military regulations and guidelines.
