8th European Society of Criminology Conference. Edinburgh, Scotland, September 2008
Aiden Sidebottom, Adam Thorpe and Shane Johnson of Bikeoff were invited to present at the eighth European Society of Criminology conference which was held at the University of Edinburgh. This paper presented findings from the recent evaluation of two design-based interventions intended to reduce opportunities for bicycle theft: a communication-based strategy in the form of stickers attached to bicycle parking stands, and prototype bicycle parking stands. The paper opens by describing the problem of bicycle theft and its relevance to current policy targets regarding sustainable transport. Following the description of the two design-based interventions, findings are presented from the evaluations of their impact of intervention on cyclists locking practice. Finally, the implications of the findings for further research are discussed.
