fear of crime  

Definición

  • Fear of crime is an indirect form of victimization and a serious social problem that is related to, but distinct from, crime itself. It is an emotional response that may be a reaction to personal victimization, witnessing a crime, or being exposed to images of crime and victimization (e.g., through television).
