The Economy of Fear: Oscar Newman Launches Crime Prevention through Urban Design (1969–197x)
The architecture of fear has become more complex, and more subtle, as it has adapted to the contradictions of privacy and publicity in American urbanism in the late twentieth century. In response to a growing fear of urban violence in the late 1960s, architect Oscar Newman argued that a network of private domains would prevent crime and preserve a way of urban life that he and others felt was under attack. In his book, Defensible Space: Crime Prevention through Urban Design, the architect presented a carefully crafted theory of human territoriality and natural surveillance, which was received as common sense because of its resonance with prevailing public opinion.
