“…Courses on principles of Crime Prevention Through Environment Design (Ekblom 2014;Armitage 2013) can be helpful but may not be enough (Keddy 2015). As suggested in this special issue, the relationship between women's fear of crime and victimisation in public space should be taught to students, sensitising future professionals to gender-based actual threats to personal security and perceived safety.…”

Drawing from a diverse range of examples, the guest editor aims to summarise and reflect upon the key material presented in this special issue. This 'afterword' to the special issue also highlights the key messages that emerge from the diverse research techniques and methodologies employed in the varied range of case studies, most of them small-scale studies. This final article identifies the unanswered questions and looks forward discussing future research agendas and policy recommendations that arise from this international and multidisciplinary take on women's victimisation and perceived safety in transit environments.

“…In the same manner as ISO 45001:2018s approach of elimination of hazards though modifying the workplace design, also in the remit of crime prevention, design features already since the 1950s became intentionally deployed to prevent crime [69,70]. Meanwhile this idea became more conceptualised and enshrined in the gradually emerging approach of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) [71][72][73], e.g. by alley gating or street lighting initiatives.…”

Bridging Police Work with the Public Health Domain: An Occupational Safety and Health Perspective

For good reasons, public health and public policing constitute two separate constellations of public affairs governance. They widely differ with regard to their objectives, legal basis, workforce, expertise, traditions, occupational culture and many more. In conjunction to both strands of governance Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) – being both a definition and umbrella term - encompasses any kind of activity related to foster the safety and wellbeing of workers. In that regard OSH is marked by being a highly interdisciplinary, hands-on and heuristic undertaken, in particular widely acknowledged of being ‘public health-close’ and at the same time ‘security risk management-near’. That way OSH is clearly identifiable as a highly promising interface bridging police work with public health, in particular by applying mutual theory and language. This conceptual paper proposes a new perspective and view on organisational OSH, functioning well as a legitimate medium for both frontline workers but also managerial functionaries. Vice-versa organisational OSH has been identified as a suitable trigger for transferring academic stances into the rather praxis- and realpolitik-driven domain of policing. Alongside the prototypical case study of Frontex operational OSH, OSH has been proven as legitimate driver for utilising the current pandemic COVID-19 outbreak as suitable tool for breaking down existing barriers and silos between the both mentioned strands of governance. That way as additional craft and capacity OSH might enfold truly operational strength and added value.

“…Jacobs research into the eyes on the street, later developed by others into what is now termed natural surveillance, and Newman's work on defensible space were both key to the development of Crime Prevention though Environmental Design (CPTED) and Situational Crime Prevention (SCP). More recently efforts have been made to developing a more theoretical and holistic approach to designing out crime (Armitage and Monchuk, 2011;Armitage, 2013).…”
