Results:
These pilot crime prevention projects have met with variable success. The Oxford Circus project does not appear to have reduced crime. The Clapham North-Tooting Broadway project did reduce robbery (-85%), although the contribution of events which took place independently of the project such as policing and publicity has to be recognised. There is no evidence of any change in how safe passengers feel when using the pilot stations.
