Abstract
Aggressive acts toward taxi drivers and their vehicles range from verbal harassment to theft, fare evasion, vandalism and murder. Crime prevention strategies can be driver initiated; involve a range of technological alarms and security devices; include increased training in communication and conciliatory skills for drivers; or focus on changing current practices to reduce the opportunity for problems to arise. Examples of specific measures are provided.
