The Routledge International Handbook on Fear of Crime brings
together original and international state of the art contributions
of theoretical, empirical, policy-related scholarship on the
intersection of perceptions of crime, victimisation, vulnerability
and risk. This is timely as fear of crime has now been a focus of
scholarly and policy interest for some fifty years and shows little
sign of abating. Research on fear of crime is demonstrative of the
inter-disciplinarity of criminology, drawing in the disciplines of
sociology, psychology, political science, history, cultural
studies, gender studies, planning and architecture, philosophy and
human geography. This collection draws in many of these
interdisciplinary themes. This collections also extends the
boundaries of fear of crime research. It does this both
methodologically and conceptually, but perhaps more importantly it
moves us beyond some of the often repeated debates in this field to
focus on novel topics from unique perspectives. The book begins by
plotting the history of fear of crime's development, then moves on
to investigate the methodological and theoretical debates that have
ensued and the policy transfer that occurred across jurisdictions.
Key elements in debates and research on fear of crime concerning
gender, race and ethnicity are covered, as are contemporary themes
in fear of crime research, such as regulation, security, risk and
the fear of terrorism, the mapping of fear of crime and fear of
crime beyond urban landscapes. The final sections of the book
explore geographies of fear and future and unique directions for
this research.
