The fear of crime has been recognized as an important social
problem in its own right, with a significant number of citizens in
many countries concerned about crime. In this book, the authors
critically review the main findings from over 35 years of research
into attitudes to crime, highlighting groups who are most fearful
of crime and exploring the theories used to account for that fear.
Using this research, the authors move on to propose a new model for
the fear of crime, arguing that such methods, which involve
intensity questions (such as 'how worried are you about x ...'),
may actually conflate an 'expressive' or 'attitudinal' component of
the fear of crime with an experiential component and therefore fail
to provide a comprehensive insight into how crime is perceived.
