This article examines the incidence of an omnipresent but underreported crime in transit environments: sexual harassment. More specifically, it presents the findings of a global comparative study that surveyed 11,710 college students from 18 cities in six different continents, to inquire about their victimization experiences with verbal, physical, and non-verbal/non-physical sexual harassment in transit environments. The study finds that sexual harassment is a common occurrence in all cities but how, where, and to what extent it happens is quite specific to the particular socio-spatial contexts. Certain individual characteristics of students and environmental characteristics of the transit setting can increase the risk of harassment. Different types of sexual harassment are more likely to happen in certain transit settings than others. While female students are disproportionately affected, some male students also report experiences of victimization. The study concludes with a discussion of multi-pronged responses to harassment.

本文研究了运输环境中无处不在但被低估的犯罪的发生率：性骚扰。更具体地说，它展示了一项全球比较研究的结果，该研究对来自六大洲 18 个城市的 11,710 名大学生进行了调查，以了解他们在过境环境中遭受口头、身体和非语言/非身体性骚扰的经历。研究发现，性骚扰在所有城市都很常见，但发生的方式、地点和程度取决于特定的社会空间环境。学生的某些个体特征和公交环境的环境特征会增加骚扰的风险。在某些交通环境中，不同类型的性骚扰比其他环境更容易发生。虽然女学生受到不成比例的影响，但一些男学生也报告了受害经历。该研究最后讨论了对骚扰的多管齐下的反应。
