Dear colleagues We have just started a research project for the International Union of Railways examining the messages and meanings staff, passengers and other users of railway stations read from the station environment. What physical affordances do railway stations provide in terms of opportunities for crime and incivilities? What are the attributes of the station in terms of the station management/organisation, the staff, the security system, and the environment that makes it an attractive and likely target for criminal or anti-social activity? We are currently searching the web for material as well as undertaking a literature review, but have found that there seems to be little published research in this area. If anyone has some suggestions for papers, reports, etc (including surveys that have not necessarily been published) that we ought to look at, I would be extremely grateful. When we have compiled a database of publications we will, of course, be very happy to send these to you or post them on the list if there is a general wish for this.
