<p>My comment here is perception. NY was able to get a handle on crime on transit mostly by </p><p>1.getting more officers on the system.</p><p>2. going after some of the more minor offenses. ie spitting in public, eating / drinking on trains, smoking, catching graffitti artists/ taggers. etc. It came at a political cost "why u hassling me"</p><p>If you want to tackle serious crimes(assaults, muggings, robbery) put a bunch of camera's out there. Also know where crimes are happening and keep officers there. Also make sure your street officers have access to the tapes of crimes happening. Generally bad guys don't think they're going to get caught. And when they do you may not get them for the worst things they did but because they did something stupid, like spitting in public & an officer remembered the general face or look of a perp and investigated when the bad guy did something else and found out who they were.</p><p>Rgds IGN</p>
