Crime victimization among taxi drivers : A quantitative survey (English)
Abstract [sv]

Studiens syfte har varit att undersöka hur brottsutsattheten hos taxiförare i Örnsköldsvik, Sundsvall, Hudiksvall och Gävle ser ut, att undersöka om situationella åtgärder kan tänkas minska risken för brottsutsatthet samt att få en inblick i taxiförarnas egna tankar kring hur risken för brottsutsatthet kan minskas. Detta har gjorts genom en enkätundersökning och materialet har analyserats genom univariat analys och innehållsanalys. Resultatet visar att brottsutsattheten skiljer sig mellan taxiförarna kopplat till ålder, kön, etnicitet och yrkeserfarenhet, att larm och kamera kan tänkas minska risken för brottsutsatthet samt att taxiförarna föreslår brottsförebyggande åtgärder såsom att installera övervakningskamera och att få utbildning i kundbemötande. De viktigaste slutsatserna som har dragits är att brottsutsatthet hos taxiförare fortfarande är ett problem och att säkerhetsåtgärder i form av larm och övervakningskamera samt utbildning i kundbemötande är önskvärt.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study has been to examine how the crime victimization among taxi drivers in Örnsköldsvik, Sundsvall, Hudiksvall and Gävle looks, to examine if situational measures conceivably reduce the risk of crime victimization and to get insight in what the taxi drives themselves think about how to reduce the risk of crime victimization. This has been examined through a questionnaire survey and the data has been analyzed through univariate analysis and content analysis. The results show that the crime victimization differs between the taxi drivers regarding age, sex, ethnicity and professional experience, that alarms and surveillance cameras conceivably reduce the risk of crime victimization, and that the taxi drivers suggest crime prevention measures such as installing surveillance cameras and education in customer service. The most important conclusions that have been drawn are that crime victimization among taxi drivers is still a problem and that safety measures in terms of alarms and surveillance cameras as well as education in customer service are desirable.
