I recently changed jobs and I am currently working in a community that has some issues with crime and safety. In my last position public safety (muggings, shooting est.) was an issue but not as much as it is here. The problem that I am having is a lot of the methods I have learned to soften the build environment (landscaping, berms, masonry wall, rod iron fencing) are seen to be unsafe. The argument that I hear from developers and the governing body is "some one can hide behind those". That leaves good site designs and architectural quality high and dry. What’s left is a site striped of all vegetation, paved, and place a building in the center with enough cameras and lights for a rock video. Is there a resource or book that touches on public safety and good site design
