Burglary
Installing Alley-Gates: Practical Lessons from Burglary Prevention Projects
This document is published for archival/historical purposes. It will not be updated.
This briefing note provides guidance on the practical issues that must be addressed when considering alley-gating and is based on preliminary findings from projects funded under the Reducing Burglary Initiative (RBI) in the North West and North East of England. The implication of the findings is that by restricting access to the rear of properties, alley gating should have a very significant effect on burglary, although there are as yet no impact evaluations of alley-gating schemes available.
