You've totally lost me on the multiple entrance and exit argument. It makes no sense? Having more exits is much safer? Allowing those exits to also act is entrances is just common sense. Funneling people yet again creates congestion and crowding...

Having more entrances provides more options for a criminal to enter and escape.
Having said that thought certain stations depending on their usage patterns do warrant more than one entrance. Typically this would be a stations where an tranfser between two different lines is going to happen.
Entrances that provide access to a station from a dark area are never a good idea.
As well if a station has multiple small entrances than you can end up with an entrance with very little foot traffic. This could allow a crime such as a purse snatching or a sexual assualt to happen. While a station that has one entrance or very few entrances will have a much higher foot traffic at that entrance and this tends to lower to probability of such a crime happening.
