Abstract

This chapter examines the risk and criminal victimization of a group of rural-tourban migrant workers, namely motorcycle taxi drivers, and their coping tactics in a midsize city, Tianzhi in Southern China. It will first examine five different types of risks motorcycle taxi drivers have to face in their line of work, including robbery, extortion, taking a taxi without paying, witnessing street crimes and traffic accidents. It then moves to examine the tactics used by motorcycle taxi drivers to cope with the most concerning risk: robbery. How do they prevent robbery before it occurs? How do they survive given a robbery case occurs? The thick description of the suffering of motorcycle taxi drivers in their everyday life provides us a unique window to examine multidimensional social exclusion for millions of migrant workers in urban China.
