Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED): A multi-disciplinary approach to deter criminal behavior through environmental design. It posits that the proper design and effective use of a physical environment can reduce the incidence and fear of crime, thereby improving the quality of life. This concept can be extended to digital environments as well, where careful design can prevent unauthorized access and deter cybercrimes.
