This study examined the nature and applicability of an approach to preventing crime through modifications to the environments in which it occurs--the Environmental Design and Management (EDM) approach. While drawing upon various antecedents, such as "defensible space" and "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED)", the EDM approach reflects the most current views on how crime in residential environments can be most effectively prevented through a balanced combination of strategies aimed at modifying both the design and management of the residential environment. It is primarily because of this equal weighting of design and management components that the EDM approach differs froms its antecedents.
