Abstract
The design and layout of car parking provision within residential housing can have a significant impact upon crime, antisocial behaviour and feelings of safety amongst residents. Although car parking may often be associated with vehicle related crimes such as theft of and from motor vehicles, research has also shown that poorly designed car parking can lead to problems with youths causing annoyance, neighbour nuisance, criminal damage and even violent crimes such as assault.
