Criminal justice : recent scholarshipBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-59332-146-5 Includes bibliographical references (p. 191-205) and index.Review of the literature -- Evolving theoretical discussion -- Drilling down the data -- Preparing to test collective efficacy -- Preparing to compare neighborhood locations -- Systematically observing hot spot bus stops -- Mapping crime incidents -- Testing informal social control -- Comparing bus stop and non-bus stop locations -- Observations of hot spot bus stops -- Conclusions and recommendations.Kooi analyzes the spatial impact of bus stops on neighborhood crime statistics and hot spots. His findings indicate that neighborhoods with concentrated bus stop locations suffered higher crime while controlling for relevant social disorganization variables. Crime surrounding or linked to bus stop locations not only affects use of public transportation but also patronage of businesses surrounding the bus stops. Kooi poses questions challenging the notion of responsibility for spaces surrounding bus stop locations and criticizes the lack of planning for placement of bus stops in relation to spatial crime impact. He offers solutions for addressing these issues.Criminal justice (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Local transit crimeUnited StatesLocal transitSecurity measuresUnited StatesLocal transit crimeUnited StatesPreventionBus stopsSecurity measuresUnited StatesLocal transit crimeLocal transitSecurity measuresLocal transit crimePrevention.Bus stopsSecurity measures364.4/9Kooi Brandon R.1973-1864070MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972812603321Policing public transportation4470785UNINA
