This paper aims to explore the relationship between residential crime and the design of the built environment in relation to these design concepts.

The results showed that the housing location complying with New Urbanism planning principles had a higher safety level than the housing location complying with Defensible Space planning principles. 2010-11-01 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/4349/1/Crime_and_the_Planning_of_Residential_Areas%282%29.pdf Elsawahli, Hanan Mohamed Hassan and Mohit, Mohammad Abdul (2010) Crime and the planning of residential areas- a comparative analysis of two Taman Melati terrace housing units.
