“…The existing studies of crowds have, however, tended to be restricted to a limited range of factors, confined to particular crowd types and not embracing the sociotechnical systems perspective that ergonomics and human factors (E/HF) would advocate (Challenger, et al, 2009;Davis et al, 2014;Martella et al, 2017). It is readily apparent that crowd situations involve significant interactions between humans and features of the environment as well as a multitude of social exchanges.…”

“…A positive impact on decreasing violence during holidays could be achieved by implementing multilevel interventions that take into account the structural, environmental, and individual factors that are associated with violence, based on the triangulation of theoretical perspectives that help to explain the interaction between violence and the social and physical context in which it occurs [25].
