of urban life better than a public place. A public place, whatever
its nature-a park, a mall, a train platform or a street corner-is
where people pass by, meet each other and at times become a victim
of crime. With this book, we submit that crime and safety in public
places are not issues that can be easily dealt with within the
boundaries of a single discipline. The book aims to illustrate the
complexity of patterns of crime and fear in public places with
examples of studies on these topics contextualized in different
cities and countries around the world. This is achieved by tackling
five cross-cutting themes: the nature of the city's environment as
a backdrop for crime and fear; the dynamics of individuals' daily
routines and their transit safety; the safety perceptions
experienced by those who are most in fear in public places; the
metrics of crime and fear; and, finally, examples of current
practices in promoting safety. All these original chapters
contribute to our quest for safer, more inclusive, resilient,
equitable and sustainable cities and human settlements aligned to
the Global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
