All the studies mentioned seem to focus on total crimes and not crimes per trip. I wonder if the (lack of) effect they observe is because of increased lighting

All the studies mentioned seem to focus on total crimes and not crimes per trip. I wonder if the (lack of) effect they observe is because of increased lighting leading to increased trips which leads to more crimes just because there are more people, cancelling out or negating any increased safety per trip.
