The study reveals differences in crimes between regions. Findings further reveal that, while different initiatives are used to cope with crimes by both riders and their customers, sometimes motorcycle riders have brutally assaulted people they suspect to be criminals, even without any proof, which escalates the problem. As for customers in Dar es Salaam, the need for safety has given rise to privately owned systems that connect riders to customers and monitor their movements. While safety initiatives have been set up, they are reported to have been less effective for riders. The study recommends that security officers need to study crime patterns, set up security initiatives that will help identify the rider, passenger and motorcycle used at any time and regulate the used spare parts business. All these will help to minimise the crime rate.
