Description

This groundbreaking criminology study challenges conventional wisdom about what drives fear of crime in communities. Rather than assuming fear stems solely from direct or indirect exposure to criminal events, authors Dan A. Lewis and Greta W. Salem present findings from a five-year investigation that fundamentally question the validity of these assumptions and the effectiveness of traditional responses. The research moves beyond narrow psychological frameworks that focus only on individual reactions to victimisation, instead examining the broader social and political dimensions that shape public perception and anxiety around crime. Published by Routledge as part of the New Observations Series, this work offers criminologists, policy makers, and social scientists a more nuanced understanding of how communities construct and respond to crime-related fears, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the complex relationship between actual crime rates and perceived safety in urban environments.
