Abstract

Developing countries should explore other avenues apart from the traditional approaches of crime prevention mainly involving the criminal justice and social approaches of crime prevention that may assist in arresting crime amid resource constraints and predicted increase in population. This paper evaluates the streets of Kabalagala township Located in Kampala City, Uganda using a Defensible Space checklist and assess the perceptions of property/business owners concerning property crimes at the street level. The findings indicated that the streets of Muyenga, Gaba and Kikubamutwe were impacted by the existence of isolated areas and concealment opportunities and presented signs of poor maintenance and management of street elements which may have adversely affected effective natural surveillance and attracted criminal activity.
