About the Author

Lawrence J. Fennelly is an internationally recognized authority on crime prevention, security planning and analysis, and on the study of how environmental factors (CPTED), physical hardware, alarms, lighting, site design, management practices, litigation consultants, security policies and procedures, and guard management contribute to criminal victimization.

Mr. Fennelly was previously employed with Apollo Security, Computershare, Inc., as well as a sergeant at Harvard College, employed by the Harvard University Police Department in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was trained as a crime prevention specialist and served in this capacity for over 21 years at Harvard. He was also the department’s training officer and assistant court officer. As part of his role as an officer at Harvard, Larry also was a deputy sheriff in both Suffolk and Middlesex counties (Massachusetts). Mr. Fennelly is a frequent speaker and lecturer on CPTED, physical security, school crime, and other issues. He serves as an expert witness who works closely with attorneys in defense as well as plaintiff cases, assisting in case preparation, offering knowledgeable questions to ask the opposing side, etc. He has also done a considerable amount of consultant work throughout the United States. His experience ranges from identifying vulnerabilities to conducting security and lighting surveys, working with architects to design and implement security, and developing long range guard training programs and risk assessments of various facilities. He is also a prolific author. His titles include such well-known security books as "Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design," "Effective Physical Security," and "Handbook of Loss Prevention and Crime Prevention."

5.0 out of 5 stars Total waste for class, but...

This book was a total waste for my Cybersecurity class and is still in mint condition. I probably read no more than 20pgs for class, and wasn't needed. However... it helped my gf break into her police office when she locked her keys in there. When she told me she didn't have a spare key, I said... Wait! I have an idea. Opened up my book to the lock section, and Bam! She was so happy I could help her out. She said because I was a lifesaver and got her in her office, I could have all the sex I wanted. Best $60 ever spent on a book, and I'm really happy. 5 stars!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent quality chapters
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2021
Verified Purchase
This book is a hodgepodge composed by many persons, each contributed to one or multiple chapters, which caused the overall quality inconsistent and contents incoherent. Some chapters are excellent and provide a lot details, some only expands a few pages and simply listing a lot of facts without giving much explanation. It feels like the authors of these short chapters are in a hurry and prepared in a span of a week, and I feel those chapters should not be in the book at all. It is still a book worth reading, but expect to skip some chapters and don't expect to gain a comprehensive knowledge of the topic of physical security.

Furthermore, the quality of the book is not very good, the glue used to bind all pages are loose, it feels with moderate usage the book will eventually fall apart.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but kind of a jumble
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2021
This would make a decent college textbook but the chapters skip around too much, omitting important concepts from some chapters while doubling or tripling other topics. Too much emphasis on CPTED. The 5th edition removed several really great general knowledge chapters. I'm sure as a reference, it's still a good book but as a textbook, I'm bummed because there isn't much to choose from out there.

A great book to have on your desk, great physical security book to use in the field. Doesn't matter if you are just in the world of physical security or already working in that field for years, you want this book!

It is USA minded, so if you do a lot of projects in the USA, you definitely want it.
Of course, outside of the USA, it also works.
