BACKGROUND: Driving a taxicab remains one of the most dangerous occupations in
the United States, with leading homicide rates. Although safety equipment
designed to reduce robberies exists, it is not clear what effect it has on
reducing taxicab driver homicides. FINDINGS: Taxicab driver homicide crime
reports for 1996 through 2010 were collected from 20 of the largest cities
(>200,000) in the United States: 7 cities with cameras installed in cabs, 6
cities with partitions installed, and 7 cities with neither cameras nor
partitions. Poisson regression modeling using generalized estimating equations
provided city taxicab driver homicide rates while accounting for serial
correlation and clustering of data within cities. Two separate models were
constructed to compare (1) cities with cameras installed in taxicabs versus
cities with neither cameras nor partitions and (2) cities with partitions
installed in taxicabs versus cities with neither cameras nor partitions. Cities
with cameras installed in cabs experienced a significant reduction in homicides
after cameras were installed (adjRR = 0.11, CL 0.06-0.24) and compared to cities
with neither cameras nor partitions (adjRR = 0.32, CL 0.15-0.67). Cities with
partitions installed in taxicabs experienced a reduction in homicides (adjRR =
0.78, CL 0.41-1.47) compared to cities with neither cameras nor partitions, but
it was not statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest cameras
installed in taxicabs are highly effective in reducing homicides among taxicab
drivers. Although not statistically significant, the findings suggest partitions
installed in taxicabs may be effective.
