Transit
Crime and Sexual Violence in Cities
examines
the evidence of victimization in transit environments in countries around the
world, exploring individuals’ feelings of perceived safety or lack thereof and
the necessary improvements that can make transit safer and, hence, cities more
sustainable. The book’s contributions are grounded in theories at the
crossroads of several disciplines such as environmental criminology,
architecture and design, urban planning, geography, psychology, gender and
LGBTQI studies, transportation, and law enforcement. International case studies
include Los Angeles, Vancouver, Stockholm, London, Paris, São Paulo, Mexico
City, Bogotá, Tokyo, Guangzho, Melbourne, and Lagos, among others.
