‘Defensible space’ is a highly contested concept and approach to designing out crime, frequently applied to public housing estates in the United Kingdom, North America, Europe and beyond. In exploring the movement/mobility/mobilisation of defensible space from the United States to the United Kingdom and into English housing policy and practice, the author extended recent work in geography, and indeed urban studies and urban planning more widely, on policy mobilities in a number of critical ways. The idea of defensible space was introduced to the United Kingdom through a book by North American architect/planner Oscar Newman and a 1974 BBC Horizon television programme on his ideas. This chapter traces defensible space, if briefly, before it arrived in the United Kingdom. It describes the criticisms of Newman's defensible space theory and presents the racialised contexts of Newman's writings.
