“…Increasing the amount of police patrol (both uniform and plain clothes) when and where the offenses are concentrated would be an effective strategy as well. In a study that has examined sexual victimization of college students in public transportation, most participants have identified similar SCP techniques as recommended measures, namely plain-clothes patrolling, more staff presence, and additional CCTV [32].…”

“…As Table 1 shows, surreptitious recording comprised about thirty-one percent of all reported subway sex offense incidents in 2019 (378 out of 1,206). The actual prevalence of the sex offenses is expected to be higher due to underreporting and unknown victimization [31,32]. 2015 3040 1040 779 825 396 2016 2752 689 799 727 537 2017 3082 717 1094 678 593 2018 2599 474 754 635 736 2019 2755 378 828 694 855 Though additional investigation on female sexual victimization in transit environments is needed [33], a line of relevant research has emphasized gender differences in travel pattern, victimization, and fear of crime.…”

“…For instance, Smith [34] has argued that the specific needs of women passengers must be taken into account by the authorities. Similarly, a study conducted on female college students' sexual victimization in public transport suggests that victimization risks are prevalent throughout their commute to school [32]. From the feminist perspective, the issue of sexual violence in transit environment is interpreted as a form of social injustice and patriarchy that impedes women's autonomy and mobility [35,36].…”

Subway sex offenses are a serious issue in the nations around world, but existing research has failed to explore the offense types or patterns systematically. In order to fill this gap, the authors employed Crime Script Analysis (CSA) to examine the two most common subway sex offenses in Seoul, South Korea. Specifically, the authors assessed the reasoning behind the steps taken to prepare for, carry out, and complete harassment and surreptitious recording. The offenses committed in the subway stations around the city of Seoul were analyzed based on the interviews with the subway police, official crime reports, and crime case files. Drawing from the findings, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Using heat maps to identify areas prone to violence against women in the public sphere

The lack of accessible crime data, especially geolocations, in developing countries often acts as a barrier to identifying environmental or situational factors in high crime areas that might contribute to the facilitation of those crimes. This paper presents a methodology for conducting fieldwork for creating heat maps to identify areas prone to violence against women (VAW) in Corregidora, Mexico. Heat maps were produced based on household survey data. The results were used to select specific high concentration locations to conduct structured observations and inductive visual analysis at street level in order to identify if and what situational factors might influence the perpetration of VAW in those locations. Four broad features were identified in the urban built environment during the site visits linked to the facilitation of opportunities for the commission of VAW: (1) lacking infrastructure, (2) presence of physical obstacles, (3) poor visibility and (4) restricted pedestrian mobility. The paper demonstrates the utility of this method for aiding situational crime prevention strategies in areas where official spatial crime data is unavailable or lacking. This study presents a relatively low cost (although labour intensive) and independent method of aiding crime prevention strategies, which will hopefully be of practical value for organisations in areas with poor crime recording practices and limited access to expensive mapping technologies.

(Caltrans), and by private grants and donations. MTI's transportation policy work is centered on three primary responsibilities: MINETA TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE LEAD UNIVERSITY OF Mineta Consortium for Transportation Mobility Research MTI works to provide policy-oriented research for all levels of government and the p rivate sector to foster the development of optimum surface transportation systems. Research areas include: bicycle and pedestrian issues; financing public and private sector transportation improvements; intermodal connectivity and integration; safety and security of transportation systems; sustainability of transportation systems; transportation / land use / environment; and transportation planning and policy development. Certified Research Associates conduct the research. Certification requires an advanced degree, generally a Ph.D., a record of academic publications, and professional references. Research projects culminate in a peer-reviewed publication, available on TransWeb, the MTI website (http://transweb.sjsu.edu). Education The Institute supports education programs for students seeking a career in the development and operation of surface transportation systems. MTI, through San José State University, offers an AACSBaccredited Master of Science in Transportation Management and graduate certificates in Transportation Management, Transportation Security, and High-Speed Rail Management that serve to prepare the nation's transportation managers for the 21st century. With the active assistance of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), MTI delivers its classes over a state-of-the-art videoconference network throughout the state of California and via webcasting beyond, allowing working transportation professionals to pursue an advanced degree regardless of their location. To meet the needs of employers seeking a diverse workforce, MTI's education program promotes enrollment to under-represented groups. Information and Technology Transfer MTI utilizes a diverse array of dissemination methods and media to ensure research results reach those responsible for managing change. These methods include publication, seminars, workshops, websites, social media, webinars, and other technology transfer mechanisms. Additionally, MTI promotes the availability of completed research to professional organizations and journals and works to integrate the research findings into the graduate education program. MTI's extensive collection of transportation-related publications is integrated into San José State University's world-class Martin Luther King, Jr. Library. The contents of this report reflect the views of the authors, who are responsible for the facts and accuracy of the information presented herein. This document is disseminated in the interest of information exchange.
