ABSTRACT
This chapter reports the results of a survey on sexual transit crime with 314 college students in Lagos, Nigeria. It found that females were 2.2 times more likely to experience non-verbal sexual violence than males. Despite a high prevalence of incidents, reporting crime was low: only 21% of females and 14% of males reported sexual crimes. Only 5% of students reported always feeling safe walking to/waiting at the bus/keke napep (tricycle) or motorcycle stops at night. About a third (31%) of the students had never felt safe at night, and about one-fifth (21%) rarely felt safe. The chapter briefly summarizes the main findings from the case study and makes suggestions for research and practice.
