DELINQUENCY AND VANDALISM IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT. REPORT OF THE 77TH ROUND TABLE ON TRANSPORT ECONOMICS, PARIS, 8-9 OCTOBER 1987

Acts of vandalism or violence and the defacing of facilities are increasing in public transport systems. This report provides an analysis of the social and psychological causes. Such an analysis is prerequisite for formulating corrective measures. A comparison of what a number of systems have experienced focuses attention on the scale of the problems involved and different ways of resolving them. The recommendations that are made differentiate between the responsibilities of the operators, national governments and the various local authorities. The countries covered by the report are France, Germany, Great Britain, and the Netherlands.
