    this is actually part of my job, crime, and using enviromental context to reduce it. (as private security,)

    If anyone gives you a blanket altruism about xyz reduces your risks of being broken into or reduces hoodlumism or something, it’s usually safe to ignore them.

    The only exception to that is deadbolts on residential doors. (and read that as “reduces”… if you’re an idiot who parks a $500,000 cybertruck in the open and leaves your front door unlocked, you’re a moron whose going to donate a cybertruck to the ‘I need some joy’ ridership fund.)

    In any case lighting is very contextual. It’s different for parks, different for streetways, and different for residential houses. even different neighborhoods. or between different sorts of apartment buildings.
