This paper presents a preliminary study examining the potential influences of building design on bullying behavior and experiences, of a sample of Malaysia secondary school students. Bullying in school may be an early stage of the developmental sequence that serves as a strong predictor of delinquency and future crime. Through the discussion of findings in previous studies, environmental design approach is as one of the methods to bring down the level of crime in school. Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) is an approach that uses environmental design as a tool to reduce crime from both the physical and the psychological aspects. The features of physical environment such as street layout, building design, lighting and physical decay can affect the occurrence and behaviour of criminals. The shortcomings in the physical environment could open up the opportunity for offenders. Thus, this study seeks to determine if there is a possibility that the actual physical environment in which students spend greater part of their day can affect behaviour, which in turn, can lead to violence in school. A survey was conducted at four secondary schools in Shah Alam, Selangor with a random sample of 406 students from Form 1, Form 2 and Form 3 involving the observation of 32 school blocks. Three principles of Crime CPTED were analyzed in the school environment. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in territoriality and school maintenance which results in the forming of the negative environment in the schools. It was found that this, in turn, affects the frequency of bullying occurring among the students in school.

Kampung Kali Code is a dense village located along the Code River Gondokusuman District with the condition of a contoured settlement. The development of the environmental design of the Kampung Kali COde which also developed along the Code River continues to increase with the maintenance of the physical elements of the area. However, the current development of environmental design has not included the element of crime prevention. This is based on the existence of criminal acts that occur in the Kampung Kali Code area such as the theft of bicycles, motorbikes and helmets. In addition, in 2017 there were 10 cases of theft from 59 cases in the District of Gondokusuman. The approach to preventing crime through environmental design or Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) is the appropriate use of the built environment to improve the quality of life through crime prevention and reduction in fear of crime. CPTED itself consists of natural surveillance, teritorial reinforcement, accessibility, and activity support maintenance. Analysis of the Kampung Kali Code environmental design on crime prevention uses the Spearman rank correlation analysis technique with the connection of existing conditions of environmental design and community perceptions of the influence of environmental design on crime prevention. Based on the research there are findings in the form of environmental design variables that will influence crime prevention, namely accesibility and maintenance of activity supporters. Some related indicators include availability of access for motorize and non-motorize vehicles, maintenance of public circulation lighting, and availability of patrol posts in guarding the area. The indicator is expected to be able to assist in the prevention of crime through the design of the Kampung Kali Code neighborhood.

Open space can contribute to the overall wellbeing of life by providing social and recreational focal points. However, open space may also be associated with undesirable qualities of a place such as crime activities that affect negatively its quality and the surrounding. Thus, to create a safe and comfort open space area, the defensible space concept is seen as an important approach to deter crime from occurring and to sustain the safety environment. Therefore, this research objective is to investigate whether the elements of the defensible space concept; territoriality, surveillance, and image, may be used in the planning of neighbourhood park. A study was carried out at Taman Tasik Puchong Perdana, Selangor by using a questionnaire survey to collect information from the visitors. The findings show that the defensible space concept with all the three elements was not implemented, which further may lead to the crime activities in the neighborhood park.
