The ongoing discussion that the disorderly environment influences the crime on public transportation in several parts. The environment can have an influence on an individual’s decision as to whether to commit a crime by making it easy. For example, when I was the first time to take the train by my own, I remember that I was sitting in the waiting room before the train came. The waiting room, a big and chaotic place with the dim light, had some convenience store was opened. People could buy some snacks, cigarettes and canned beers in the stores. Even though I frequently checked my bag and the important properties carefully, I still lost my wallet before I get on board. When I waited in the waiting room, someone stole my wallet without any notice.

For example, Loukaitou-Sideris (2007) argued that a good lighting not only offers visibility from passing traffic and neighboring establishments but also does not obstruct the view of those waiting inside. Other words, the bright environment could increase the visibility for the driver, passengers, and passerby. The bright environment is the concept of the “view on street”, which may focus on mutual protections and crack down the crime tendency of the potential offender. As well as the visibility is increased by improving lighting for the victims, the offenders could also realize there are many people who are watching on their behaviors. After that, the fear of immediately catching may wake up the offender from the crime impulsion. In addition, “Lighting should also increase natural surveillance, both because it increases visibility and because it encourages more people to congregate in the lighted place” (Anderson, J., MacDonald, J., Bluthenthal, R., & Ashwood, J. 2013). People congregate in the lighted place could reduce the opportunities for crime, also because the lighted place could increase the visibility for the passengers, there could have a lot of witnesses while the offender commits the crime, then the offender may be easily identified and caught. Therefore, improving the lighting is a good way to reducing the crime in public …show more content…
By some researching have done, some inferences were made. For example, “The installation of CCTV for the use of station staff on four high-risk stations on the London Underground was found to have produced substantial reductions in muggings and thefts.” (Clarke, R.1995). the monitoring equipment, as well as the CCTV, install on the public transportation could be an effective way to warn and suppress the potential criminals. The symbol of the under monitoring could not only make the people who are standing and passing on the public transportation feel safety, but also the offender may think their behavior and mind activities are exposed by the ubiquitous CCTV. Then, the criminals may don’t have enough impulsion to support their crime implementation. In addition, with the installation of the CCTV on public transportation, the other approaches of the changed environment are demanded to decrease the crime rate in public transportation. For instance, “Among the features incorporated were spacious platforms, open escalators and passageways between platforms, use of CCTV with attendants in kiosks near entrances, and lack of vendors and restroom.” (Smith, M., & Clarke, R. 2000). The spacious platforms and open escalators and passageways could be an efficient way to decline the
