In the text that we could read, we can see and realize that for there to be a crime against passengers, there must be exact moments for a criminal to act, so a scenario of this would be a lack of security and disorder; what I can see a lot in the text that there is more crime around shops and bars that are close to the train stations, this is because, as they are exact points for a person to sell drugs or alcohol, it is an area where there is Delinquency in a general topic would be due to the lack of security that is in charge of the police.

The most obvious thing in this text is that public transport has been a problem for years, which is why those in charge of public transport were forced to change and improve many things, for which we can notice that one of those areas to strengthen is security, the environment of how the public transport stations are and also keeping people who do not want to pay the rates given away, in a few words it would be that people who do not want to pay would be arrested or, like here in New York, they are given a ticket this text It helped me a lot to understand how crime in train stations could be solved.

In this text, on the other hand, he talks about Australian train stations where there is no high level of crime. Still, he points out that if people felt a little safer when taking the train, they would be 10% safer, for which the studies This text shows that a better design for train stations will be safer since people will feel safer and thus reducing the crime rate for what they call CPTED where it is made up of Surveillance, Access control, target Hardening, Activity Support, Image Management, Territoriality, all of this is implemented so that crime control is less, as an example, the stations in my neighborhood are not very residential, so many people are sleeping in the train stations. There is also crime because there are windows for crime.
