%X This chapter focuses on crime prevention in relation to architecture as a discipline and as built  material environment. It discusses earlier research and presents developments from the EU  project ‘Resilient Infrastructure and Building Security’ (RIBS). In the chapter, we insist on the  term ‘architecture’ (instead of the ostensibly more neutral term ‘built environment’) as  historical, social, aesthetical and cultural values ought to be considered in crime prevention  discussions. The chapter begins with an overview of the main principles and theoretical  developments in the field of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED). This is  followed by a section illustrating important contributions that architects have made to the  instantiation of criminological principles. The last section of the chapter presents computational  tools that have been developed to support architects in designing more secure and more resilient  buildings. We conclude with critically examining and discussing what contribution these  elements have made to enhance and nuance CPTED concepts, methods and practices.
