Gender differences in children's pathways to independent mobility
This paper presents some empirical findings relating to the independent mobility of children in two parts of south-east England – one a south London borough, the other a suburban county north of London.

But closer analysis suggests that girls manage to attain similar levels of independence from adults by travelling more in groups. This collect…

This paper presents findings from the project CAPABLE (Children's Activities, Perceptions And Behaviour in the Local Environment) carried out at University College London to explore the concept of independent behaviour by children, by examining variation by age, gender and access to open space to see how independence affects their behaviour, both in terms of how they use their time after school and how they behave when outdoors.

Motor vehicle related injury on the bridges between Montreal and the South Shore of the St. Lawrence River, 1978-1982
