Summary: In March 2004 the European Commission enacted a legal act in order to manifest crime prevention within the European Union. This act aimed at the prevention of domestic burglary, violent crime and high-volume crime. The Council Decision of May 2001 stated that crime prevention covers all measures that are intended to reduce or otherwise contribute to reducing crime and citizens' feeling of insecurity, both quantitatively and qualitatively, either through directly deterring criminal activities or through policies and interventions designed to reduce the potential for crime and the causes of crime. It includes work by government, competent authorities, criminal justice agencies, local authorities, specialist associations, the private and voluntary sectors, researchers and the public, supported by the media (Europea - Summaries of EU legislation, 2006). This is a very broad definition of crime prevention; this study does only focus on a small part of it. The case study carried out in this thesis comprises two projects based on the crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED) theory. In the study two CPTED projects (a German and a Dutch one) which deal with housing security are investigated. As they are already evaluated by other scholars this will not be the purpose of the study. This thesis compares the two ways of implementing a project bottom-up and top-down and therefore deals with the research question whether a top-down approach bears more advantages than a bottom-up approach within the implementation process of housing security projects.
