Title: Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design: A Federal Agency Active Shooter Study Summary: The purpose of this research is to explore the employees' perceptions of safety in light of recent active shooter incidents. The research design was quantitative, non-experimental survey's that collected data using a self-administered questionnaire surveys. The surveys were designed for collecting and analyzing data, measuring attitudes, and individual perceptions. Knowing the perceptions of employees regarding their safety on federally owned property in light of recent active school shooter incidents can be valuable when designing physical protection systems, policies and emergency plans to protect employees. However, no known safety perception studies that included active shooter incidents have been conducted to examine perceptions of employees. To address this gap in the literature, this particular study was conducted to specifically gain an understanding of employee's perceptions of safety and preparedness programs due to the exclusion of active shooter studies and the impact it has in a workplace environment. Data analysis resulted in the emergence of three major themes; how employees perceived their safety based on gender, location, and years of service. Overall, this study revealed perceptions of safety can be improved by communicating preparedness programs and policies. Details: Minneapolis, MN: Capella University, 2016. 114p.
