This paper takes advantage of a natural experiment involving subway station closures to examine how subway ridership is associated with the impact of robbery victimization within spatial network buffers immediately surrounding subway stations in Bronx (County), New York. The New York City subway system is the busiest in the USA, with an annual ridership estimated at 1.8 billion people. Key findings of this research include noteworthy relationships between robbery hot spots and subway stations, as well as substantial reductions in robbery frequency during temporary subway station closures, with larger reductions occurring in closer proximities to the subway stations. There was also a significant robbery pattern “normalization process” that occurred after the closed subway stations were reopened where robbery frequency returned to historically “normal” pre-closure levels. These notable decreases of crime in and around subway stations during the station closure time periods, as well as the prominent increases in robbery when subway stations reopened, should be taken into consideration when planning transit maintenance, conducting crime prevention initiatives, and scheduling crime control strategies.

纽约地铁站的关闭和抢劫热点—了解流动因素和减少犯罪

本文利用涉及地铁站关闭的自然实验的优势,研究了纽约市布朗克斯(县)地铁站周围空间网络缓冲区内的地铁乘客量与抢劫受害者的影响之间的关系。纽约地铁系统是美国最繁忙的地铁系统,每年的载客量估计为18亿。这项研究的主要发现包括抢劫热点与地铁站之间的显着关系,以及在临时关闭地铁站期间抢劫频率的大幅降低,而在靠近地铁站的地方,抢劫频率的降低幅度更大。在关闭的地铁站重新开放后,抢劫频率又恢复到了历史上的“正常”关闭前水平,这之后还发生了重大的抢劫模式“正常化过程”。在计划过境维护,实施预防犯罪计划和制定犯罪控制策略时,应考虑到在车站关闭期间地铁站内和附近这些犯罪的显着减少以及地铁站重新开放时抢劫的显着增加。 。
