Due to its novelty, there has been limited evaluation on the effects of compartmentalisation on crime reduction and even less so on ASB reduction. Such evaluation was therefore undertaken by assessing the impact of compartmentalisation on ASB in Secured by Design (SBD) estates. Using a qualitative approach, telephone interviews were conducted with residents, Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) officers and estate managers from Belvedere Park estate and Erith Park estate, and a thematic analysis was performed to interpret the findings of this research. The findings demonstrate that compartmentalisation can contribute to the reduction of certain types of ASB incidents, and presents additional benefits including enhanced community and personal safety within housing estates. However, the main limitation of compartmentalisation is that the security measure is unable to account for all forms of ASB in residential estates.
