I can easily see where a train station might increase crime in the immediate area. It’s not necessarily because criminals wide ride in on a train, commit a crime, and ride away. It’s because train stations can attract riff raff. Riff raff that wouldn’t otherwise be there.I used to laugh when people would protest a 7-Eleven coming to their neighborhood by saying that it will increase crime. Now that I live near one, it doesn’t seem so ridiculous anymore. A train station can be similar. |
