Crowd segregation refers to the physical separation of individuals or groups in a crowd based on certain criteria such as age, gender, or security concerns. This can be done to maintain order, enhance safety, or minimize potential conflicts within a large gathering of people. For example, at a music concert, crowd segregation may involve separating sections for VIP guests, general admission ticket holders, and security personnel.
