520			_aSuggests that urban design, different types of dwelling, and the level of housing maintenance can influence the occurrence of crime in particular areas. Discusses the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) approach that promotes the manipulation of the built environment to reduce criminal activity. Research by the University of Glamorgan also found that certain housing types such as low-rise and high-rise flats were seen as more prone to crime than semi-detached houses or terraces. However, in addition to physical design, the level of maintenance and repair of each property was perceived as a key factor in determining the likelihood of crime. In the light of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 and the Human Rights Act 1998, concludes that councils may have to impose specific demands on property owners to repair derelict or vacant buildings.
