An attention to the 'fear of crime' has found its way into
governmental interventions in crime prevention and into popular
discourse with many newspapers, local government and the like
conducting their own fear of crime surveys. As a concept, 'fear of
crime' has also produced considerable academic debate since it
entered the criminological vocabulary in the 1960s.
Bringing together a collection of new and cutting edge articles
from key scholars in criminology, Fear of Crime challenges many
assumptions which remain submerged in attempts to measure and
attribute cause to crime fear. But, in questioning the orthodoxy of
'fear of crime' models, along with inquiries that have supposed
that fear is objectively quantifiable and measurable, the articles
collected here also offer new paradigms and methods of inquiry for
approaching 'fear of crime'.
