| description | In Kelantan, Malaysia, there is a lack of information about the public’s perception on
current crime prevention strategies. Public perception regarding crime prevention
through environmental design is important as it emphasizes the proper design and
effective use of a created environment to reduce crime. It is a focus of this current study
to determine whether the current environmental design is linked to experiences and
perception of crime occurrences. Findings in this current study may be salient for the
need to improve Kota Bharu’s environment. Therefore, a survey on Kelantanese
perception on CPTED elements was conducted. It was calculated that 271 respondents
were required for this research. The data analysis methods used were descriptive
statistics, One-way ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis, multi regression and Spearman’s rankorder
correlation. The results indicated that there is an association between educational
level and crime prevention. Interestingly, there is an association between perceptions
of feeling safe and anxiety towards crime, and relationship between crime anxiety and
attitudes towards crime prevention. The implications of this study include the need of a
well-designed plan of remedial education, extensive campaign on the awareness of
crime prevention and sharing safety skills. |
