Taxi service provides a significant amount of urban mobility. Unfortunately, taxi drivers are targets of criminals seeking ready cash. Complete data, however, on the extent of this problem and on the effectiveness of various protective measures have not been available. To help clarify this problem, a study was conducted in 1993 of taxi companies affiliated with the International Taxicab and Livery Association, which has an overall membership of approximately 900 taxicab, limousine, and van companies. The purpose of this study was to document information on assaults, assault scenarios, assailant profiles, and safety measures based on the professional experience and knowledge of taxi company owners.
