The Hampshire Child Pedestrian Accident Study,

摘要

A study of accidents involving child pedestrians was carried out in 1972in conjunction with the Hampshire Constabulary. The study provided more detailed information about accident situations than is normally available through standard reporting procedures. This information covered such items as journey purpose,distance from home,and accompaniment. The reports of the children indicated that in the great majority of cases lack of attention prior to crossing was associated with the accident situation. Inadequate supervision contributed to accidents involving young children.
