Description

Explore a fresh perspective on criminology with Fear of Crime: Incivility and the Production of a Social Problem. Published by Routledge as part of the New Observations Series, this study challenges traditional views on why people feel unsafe in their communities. While many researchers assume fear of crime comes mainly from direct or indirect contact with criminal events, authors Dan A. Lewis and Greta W. Salem offer a different view. They question the validity of common assumptions and the real-world effectiveness of standard prevention programs. Instead of focusing only on psychological responses to victimization, this work looks at the social and political elements that shape public perception. Based on a five-year investigation, this book provides deep insights for students, researchers, and professionals in the social sciences. It moves beyond simple police protection or crime prevention models to examine how incivility contributes to the creation of social problems. This is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the complex roots of public fear and the social structures that influence it.
