This study reports variation in safety perceptions in transit environments, based on samples of university students in 18 cities on six continents who responded to an identical 45-question survey (= 13,323 university students). We explore potential links between students' fears and sexual victimization and conclude that sexual harassment affects their behavior and mobility. Student mobility was affected by avoidance strategies prompting some transit riders to travel at particular times, on travel routes and settings that are deemed especially risky, or even avoiding using transit completely. Findings highlight the importance of city-country contexts for transit safety.
本研究报告了在交通环境中，基于来自六大洲 18 个城市的大学生样本，他们对相同的 45 个问题的调查做出回应，这其中存在的安全感知的变化情况（=13323 名大学生）。我们探讨了学生的恐惧与性侵害之间的潜在联系，并得出结论，性骚扰影响了他们的行为和流动性。学生的流动性受到回避策略的影响，这些策略促使一些通勤者在被认为特别危险的时间、路线和环境中出行，甚至完全避免使用公共交通。研究结果强调了城市国家背景对交通安全性的重要性。
