A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
The five papers in this Record report on crime and vandalism on urban transportation systems. The research includes use of 18 months of reports from one city's police department files on bus and rapid transit crime; an attitude study on personal security in buses for a route in Milwaukee; findings on whether fear of crime and vandalism on transit systems affects individual decisions to use public transportation; quantification of the extent and seriousness of crime and vandalism on urban transportation systems using data from 37 U.S. transit systems; and study of the means of controlling the problem through use of several approaches, including special vandal-proof materials, procedures and tactics to protect passengers, involvement of the community in anti-crime measures, and methods to cultivate good relationships with the police, the courts, and the media.
