Primes¶
- Broken Windows Theory
- Habit formation — a single observed slip lowers the perceived cost of the next, the internal-norm version of the same loop, with the self as observer. Built-environment maintenance — deferred maintenance signals that a facility is uncared-for, inviting damage and reducing legitimate use in a self-reinforcing decay spiral.
This sourceArgues that a dilapidated, unmaintained environment signals that no one cares and weakens residents' will to defend it, inviting vandalism and crime in a self-reinforcing decay — the built-environment instance of the disorder-signal loop.

- Designed-Out Misuse
- Architecture and urban planning: crime prevention through environmental design, defensible-space design, anti-skate fixtures, traffic-calming geometry that makes dangerous speeds physically uncomfortable.
This sourceEstablishes crime prevention through environmental design / defensible-space design — shaping the built environment so misuse paths become structurally unattractive.

- Substrate-Cued Behavior Recruitment
- In architecture and urban design, defensible-space layouts recruit stewardship, calmed streetscapes recruit slower driving, and sight-lines through public spaces recruit informal surveillance.
This sourceArgues that built-environment layout (territoriality, sight-lines, defensible space) recruits resident stewardship and informal surveillance without instruction — substrate design eliciting behavior.
- In architecture and urban design, defensible-space layouts recruit stewardship, calmed streetscapes recruit slower driving, and sight-lines through public spaces recruit informal surveillance.
