Fear of Crime and Individual Behavioral Adaptations

• In Event: Poster Session

Abstract

Previous studies have illustrated an individual-level risk interpretation model based on a cognitive-based assessment of personal risk and emotive dimension of worry of criminal victimization. However, few studies utilize data to fully explore how neighborhood characteristics influence individual’s fear of crime, perceived risk and constrained behavior. The current paper utilizes Seattle Neighborhood Crime Survey to explore how individual and neighborhood characteristics associate with fear of crime.
