Abstrakt: The article discusses the use of target hardening measures versus crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) in school safety. While target hardening focuses on making schools less vulnerable to violent attacks, it can inadvertently make students feel less safe. CPTED, on the other hand, aims to create a safe and supportive school environment through principles such as natural surveillance, access control, territoriality, and maintenance. Research suggests that schools implementing CPTED principles are perceived as safer and have lower rates of violence. School psychologists can advocate for the use of CPTED strategies and evaluate their effectiveness in school settings. [Extracted from the article]
