Planning for Safety and Security
Presenters: Diane Zahm, Associate Professor Urban Affairs and Planning, Virginia Tech
The changing nature of higher education has significant implications for crime prevention, and Virginia Tech became an international symbol of the impact of safety and security on campuses. With lessons learned from the events in Blacksburg and through a career in crime prevention planning, Diane will talk about how campus planning and crime prevention can build in security as part of new construction (master plan, design guidelines, capital budget, etc.). She will also touch on campus safety audits, incorporating safety and security into policy, and town-gown relations in this presentation.
