“…Public transportation is responsible for promoting the mobility of human capital. It has assumed a crucial role in the maintenance of efficient large city operations; however, this role cannot be fulfilled if security concerns make the public avoid public transit environments (Ceccato et al, 2015; Paes-Machado and Levenstein, 2002; Paes-Machado and Viodres-Inoue, 2015). Although the amount of literature addressing the causes and consequences of crime in transit systems is increasing (Brantingham and Brantingham, 1995; Ceccato et al, 2013; La Vigne, 1996, 1997; Loukaitou-Sideris et al, 2002; Newton et al, 2014; Priks, 2015; Webb and Laycock, 1992), the analysis of victimisation by gender and type of transit mode remains unexplored, mainly because data disaggregated by gender are scarce (World Bank, 2015).…”

With about 12 million inhabitants, São Paulo, Brazil, is the largest city in South America. As in many other major southern hemisphere cities, this extreme concentration of people imposes a number of mobility and security challenges. The objective of this article was to investigate the space-time patterns of mobility and violent victimisation in São Paulo’s metro stations from a gender perspective. The methodology combines use of a Geographical Information System (GIS), statistical analysis through negative binomial regression modelling and hypothesis testing. Results indicate that mobility and the level of victimisation are gender dependent. Women are at higher risk of victimisation than men in São Paulo’s central metro station, while men run higher risk of violence at end stations – both notably during late night periods. The presence of employees reduces the risk of violence, except during the mornings. The article suggests that crime prevention initiatives need to be gender informed and sensitive to the particular spatial and temporal features of rapid transit environments.

“…The alarming and systematic increase of crime on buses in Brazil and other countries in Latin America, often announced by the media, operates as a catalyst for the feeling of fear and insecurity among millions of people who depends on the bus system as their main form of transportation (Paes-Machado & Viodres-Inoue, 2015;Natarajan et al, 2015). In Brazil, a survey conducted by the National Confederation of Public Transport in 2015 identified bus crimes as one of the greatest problems faced by the ridership, which represents approximately 25% of the country's entire population.…”

“…In their 2015 study of crime on buses in Brazil, Paes-Machado and Yvories indicate that the exposure of victims to violent and threatening action during bus travel might lead to devastating consequences for the mental health and behavioral habits of both the victims and witnesses. The coercive use of firearms and the use of terror via threats as well as psychological and verbal abuse leave victims of bus crimes feeling trapped and impotent (Paes-Machado & Viodres-Inoue, 2015;Jacobs, 2012Jacobs, , 2013.…”

This current study examines the perception of safety on the public bus transit system in a large Brazilian metropolis. Using a web-based survey, the study reached a convenient sample of bus users of a local university who were victims and witnesses to crime in two different types of local bus transit environments - the BRT MOVE - a modern bus system and its opposing counterpart - the conventional bus system. Research questions investigate whether or not riders’ perception of safety is influenced by the presence of mechanisms of control and surveillance on buses. Using a linear regression model, this study hypothesizes that the perception of safety among victims and/or witnesses to crime varies according to exposure to risk in different bus transit systems. Limitations of the results were addressed and reliability and validity issues were reviewed. This study demonstrates the relevance of different types of risk factors on riders’ perception of safety on buses, bus stops, and stations. This contributes to widening the range of public transit safety solutions in Brazil.

Abordagens truculentas e domínio de cidades brasileiras em assaltos contra bancos mediante planejamento minucioso

Resumo Este artigo aborda uma modalidade de assaltos contra bancos atualmente registrada em todas as regiões do Brasil, que apresenta as seguintes características: os assaltos ocorrem a altas horas da noite ou durante as madrugadas; são efetuados por quadrilhas cuja quantidade de homens armados varia de duas a cinco dezenas; têm nas cidades de pequeno e médio porte seus alvos preferenciais. Utilizando armas de grosso calibre e explosivos, os assaltantes subtraem valores de duas ou mais agências bancárias em simultaneidade. Nessas ações, parte da quadrilha ataca e obstrui a atuação das forças de segurança pública locais e, com isso, domina bairros e até cidades inteiras por algumas horas, submetendo toda a população. Antes que possam chegar reforços policiais de cidades vizinhas, os bandidos empreendem fuga. Não raro, moradores são tomados como reféns e vivenciam instantes de medo e pavor, chegando mesmo a ser alvejados, quando há confrontos entre quadrilhas e policiais. Este artigo argumenta que a modalidade de crime em análise envolve minucioso planejamento e investimento em infraestrutura e logística, uso instrumental e performático da violência, sendo significada como atividade econômica e negócio por seus praticantes. Sobre a socialidade nas quadrilhas que efetuam tais ações criminais, salienta-se a condição temporária e circunstancial desses agrupamentos, baseados em trocas de saberes, cooperação técnica e “empreendedorismo” dos assaltantes, cujo objetivo comum é obter elevadas quantias em suas investidas armadas. A pesquisa e a análise dos dados, ora apresentadas, têm inspiração etnográfica e o trabalho de campo desenvolvido recorreu a entrevistas em profundidade e conversas informais com praticantes desses assaltos, entrevistas com delegados de polícia e policiais, levantamento e análise de notícias de jornais, telejornais e portais online de todas as regiões do Brasil.
