Question

Whats missing in the blank?

Answer 1

According to situational crime prevention, besides having a natural inclination toward criminal activity, environmental design also affects criminals' decisions before committing a crime.

The concept of environmental design used in crime prevention relies on the  belief that a place that is built with safety in mind inhibits or discourages criminal behavior in that particular place. In other words, if criminals realize it is outright difficult to get in a certain place, they will give up before even starting.
