  12. How do you best deter victimization in the Taxi Industry? “A range of measures, rather than one measure alone is likely to be more successful. Policy makers should be wary of responding to the size of the problem in simplistic fashion posing a single solution as a cure all. It can be taken that the larger the problem, the more complex the solution. Such is the case with victimization in the taxi industry.” Dr. Fiona Haines, Criminology Department University of Melbourne
