“…This study builds on earlier work addressing the Sa˜o Paulo metro system through use of more appropriate modelling strategies, as well as an updated, more complete data set (from 2010 to 2017) that includes additional types of crimes and distinguishes victims by gender. The original study by Ceccato and Paz (2017) did not differentiate victims by gender. Along with addressing a more extensive list of violent crimes, our study also provides a more thorough analysis of the temporal patterns of these crimes' commission (weekly and daily patterns) in the metro station environment and the influence of local socioeconomic and land use factors on their incidence.…”

“…Data for the study came from three sources: crime records from the city of Sa˜o Paulo's police official crime statistics; land use data from an analysis of Google Street View images gathered by Ceccato and Paz (2017); and socioeconomic data for a station's neighbourhood from census tracts (IBGE [Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatı´stica], 2010).…”

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.

“…Researchers evaluating this program found mixed results: the program has increased reporting but victims cannot be helped in real time. 71 Another intervention aiming to reduce harassment is the introduction of women-only transportation vehicles, which have been introduced in many countries, such as Mexico, Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Japan, Malaysia, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and the United Arab Emirates. Women-only transit vehicles have received both positive 72 and negative evaluations in the context of the Global South.…”

(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.

“…According to Ceccato, Falk, Parsanezhad, and Tarandi (2018), most CPTED interventions have been implemented together with other situational crime prevention techniques (Clarke, 2012) with reference to housing developments and neighborhoods (e.g. Armitage, 2013;Ceccato & Bamzar, 2016;Clarke, 1983;DeKeseredy, Donnermeyer, & Schwartz, 2009), transportation systems (Ceccato & Paz, 2017;Loukaitou-Sideris, 2012), parks (Iqbal & Ceccato, 2016), and commercial properties and shopping centers (Ceccato & Tcacencu, 2018;Lindblom & Kajalo, 2011).…”

This study reports on experiences using fieldwork protocols (FPs) in guiding the inventory of safety conditions in public places. Relying on theories of environmental criminology, situational crime prevention, and crime prevention through environmental design (CPTED), FPs are used to collect data on-site for three different types of public places: subway stations, shopping centers and parks. The fieldwork data are compared with other data sources and mapped using geographical information system (GIS) technology or building information modeling (BIM). Based on criteria of validity, reliability, and generalizability of evidence collected on-site, the study shows that FPs are better suited for environments that follow some uniform structure (subway stations) than other types of public places (urban parks). The article concludes with lessons for using FPs in guiding data collection for safety inventories and recommendations for future research.
