Lecture Reviews

“Thank you for your guest lecture to the Sydney University Environmental Criminology postgraduate class yesterday (Friday 16 August 2019). Your comprehensive presentation provided an excellent overview of the tenets of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and raised numerous important observations regarding the application of CPTED. Your encyclopaedic knowledge of CPTED was translated through the wonderful slides/images that you used to illustrate key features of CPTED and your extensive practical experience illuminated translation challenges from theory to practice. Thank you for taking the time to prepare and deliver such a fantastic guest lecture.”
