“…The idea that a motorcycle is a tool used to perpetrate crime and criminal activities has been widely accepted by law enforcement for a decade (Bradley, 2021;Van Deuren, 2023). An increasing number of criminals use motorcycles to access and escape from crime scenes and monitor the situation in preparation for the commission of criminal activities (Lakeman et al, 2021).…”

Motorcycle is one of the most convenient modes of transport in Kenya. However, the motorcycle transport industry is faced with social, economic, and cultural challenges that have significantly increased crime levels in urban areas. The study sought to examine the nature and types of motorcycle-related crimes in Nakuru East Sub-county, Nakuru County, Kenya. The study was based on Routine Activities Theory and Crime Pattern Theory. The survey research design was used in the study. Primary data was collected using interview schedules and key informant interviews. Stratified sampling was used to select 310 motorcycle riders from four strata, which include Bondeni, Flamingo, Mwariki B, and Kivumbini. Then, simple random sampling was used to select respondents from these strata. The data collected were tallied and analyzed to produce frequency distribution, percentages, and mean. The study found the use of violence and weapon as a nature of motorcycle-related crime. The study established Robbery with violence, robbery, assault and general theft as a major type of motorcycle-related crime. The study recommends increased police patrols and the enactment of stringent motorcycle transport laws to help address motorcycle-related crimes.

“…It has been argued that objective crime is one of the few plausible mechanisms operating at an area-level, which explains higher risk of mental health problems in disadvantaged communities ( Baranyi, Cherrie, Curtis, Dibben, & Pearce, 2020 ; Joshi et al, 2017 ). Criminology literature has established that neighbourhood disadvantage is strongly associated with the spatial concentration of violent, drug and property crime ( Lakeman, Benier & Wickes, 2021 ). Weaker social ties and diminished informal social control in disadvantaged neighbourhoods have been proposed as one explanation for this ( Sampson, Raudenbush & Earls, 1997 ; Wickes & Hipp, 2018 ).…”

This article presents a review of renewable energy systems in Latin America, highlighting recent advances aimed at transforming electricity markets to make them more environmentally sustainable. The transition of energy systems in these countries is closely linked to policies and legislation that promote the adoption of renewable energy, guided by roadmaps that facilitate planning and decision-making processes. Transportation stands out as a crucial sector in these transition efforts, and support for renewable energy is already driving significant changes in several continents, albeit with different levels of impact. The analysis involved a review of 180 articles published in ScienceDirect since 2000, focused on renewable energy systems in Latin America. Among them, only 40 scientific articles were identified that specifically address electric mobility systems for mass transportation, such as trams and railways, that is environmentally friendly. Currently, their contribution in Latin America is only 1.7%, and it is expected that they will play a fundamental role in the energy transition in 2050, contributing 9.3% within the electrified transportation sector. The results of the research revealed that Brazil, Cuba, Ecuador, Colombia, and Costa Rica are the countries that have carried out the most high-impact research in relation to mobility systems with 100% renewable energy systems. In Latin America, there is a limited number of authors focused on massive electric propulsion systems. The purpose of this research is to provide an overview of the energy situation related to electric propulsion systems for transport in South American countries.
