Theoretical Perspectives of Safety and Security in Transit Environments
No full textThis chapter discusses the extant theories used to explain safety and security in transit environments, which are set out within the conceptual framework identified in the previous chapter. A number of theoretical perspectives have been developed to explain the prevalence of crime, disorder and associated fear in society. None of these are without criticism, and none have been developed explicitly for the purpose of explaining safety and security on public transport systems. This section examines current security and criminological theories, and ideas and perspectives from other fields and disciplines, to ascertain their utility for explaining safety and security specifically in the context of public transportation. The aim is to translate these theories into an integrated and theory-led conceptual framework within which safety and security on public transport systems can readily be examined
Practical Challenges and New Research Frontiers for Safety and Security in Transit Environments
No full textThis chapter brings together this edited volume, and highlights and summarizes the main findings presented in the book, based on each of the preceding five sections. It examines the conceptual framework, and the main findings that arise from each section. These include safety and security at the transit node, the journey, links to the surrounding settings and the perspective of the user. It provides an overview of why safety and security is challenging and complex, and discusses the utility of the conceptual framework in tackling this. It then suggests new research frontiers for safety in transit environments, before concluding with some recommendations for future policy
Aim, Scope, Conceptual Framework and Definitions
No full textMobility is a basic requirement of modern society. Distance separates individuals’ homes from places where they work, shop, do business, undertake leisure and recreational activities, and socially interact. Public transit plays a key role in reducing social exclusion by offering access to these fundamental life activities. For example, in Sweden and in Great Britain, one-quarter of households do not own a car (SIKA, 2008; DfT, 2012). Moreover, access to a car is not equally distributed amongst the population, and varies by age, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic status. Particular groups are more reliant on public transportation than others (Kunieda and Gauthier, 2007; Raphael et al. 2006). Furthermore, there are obvious environmental benefits in promoting public transport as a means of sustainable travel (Steg and Gifford, 2005). Since public transportation is a cornerstone of sustainable development, passengers deserve convenient and reliable transportation systems. However, getting people to use public transportation systems is not just a matter of making them efficient and cost effective. Passengers need to feel safe not just at stops and stations but also during their entire journey. Transportation systems encompass more than buses, trains and infrastructure. They constitute actual transit environments in which individuals spend time on a daily basis and are, therefore, important settings in everyday life. Indeed, one in five Europeans spend on average more than two hours a day commuting in these transit environments (Stepstone, 2012)
Kriminologiska perspektiv på situationsbaserad brottsprevention
No full textEn introduktion till grundläggande kriminologiska perspektiv kring situationens betydelse för brott, rädsla för brott och otrygghet.Situationsbaserad brottsprevention ingår i serien "Kriminologiska perspektiv på ..." och tar upp hur man kan använda förebyggande strategier för att minska otrygghet och brottsutsatthet.Boken- ger en fördjupad kunskap om interaktionen mellan individ och miljö.- analyserar platsen, dess användare och användning.- behandlar jämställdhet, intersektionalitet och social hållbarhet.Läs mer: Boken är lämplig för högskoleutbildningar inom flera områden - kriminologi, sociologi, stadsplanering, arkitektur, urban geografi – och på polisprogrammet. Den kan även med fördel användas av företag och förvaltningar som berörs av kriminalitetens mångskiftande verkningar.Om författarna: Charlotta Thodelius är universitetslektor i kriminologi på Akademin för polisiärt arbete, Högskolan i Borås. Hennes forskning har bland annat fokus på relationen mellan individ och miljö, främst platsens och situationens betydelse vid skolvåld, skadehändelser och suicid.Vania Ceccato är professor vid Arkitektur och samhällsbyggnad, Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan i Stockholm. Hon studerar förhållandet mellan den byggda och sociala miljön och människors säkerhet och trygghet i både urbana och rurala miljöer. Vania är även samordnare för Säkraplatser-nätverket som har syftet att sprida kunskap inom situationsbaserad brottsprevention bland praktiker i Sverige.</p
Rural crime and community safety
No full textCrime is often perceived as an urban issue rather than a problem that occurs in rural areas, but how far is this view tenable? This book explores the relationship between crime and community in rural areas and addresses the notion of safety as part of the community dynamics in such areas. Rural Crime and Community Safety makes a significant contribution to crime science and integrates a range of theories to understand patterns of crime and perceived safety in rural contexts. Based on a wealth of original research, Ceccato combines spatial methods with qualitative analysis to examine, in detail, farm and wildlife crime, youth related crimes and gendered violence in rural settings. Making the most of the expanding field of Criminology and of the growing professional inquiry into crime and crime prevention in rural areas; rural development; and the social sustainability of rural areas, this book builds a bridge by connecting Criminology and Human Geography. This book will be suitable for academics, students and practitioners in the fields of criminology, community safety, rural studies, rural development and gender studies.QC 20211206</p
