Reflections on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design

With today’s evolution of technologies, it is impossible to ignore, at least hypothetically, the reference to IT techniques, particularly those related to artificial intelligence, which can become relevant precisely in their ability to move in a co-programming key. Applying these tools to the so-called crime prevention area through environmental design allows to manage (and synthesize) an enormous mass of data, but it also involves a certain delegation, mediated or immediate, to IT systems, as regards the identification of general objectives and the specific highlighting of the points on which to pay attention and consequently act, according to the methods presented as most efficient.
