• Sense of Community and Its Association With the Neighborhood Built Environment (2014, background): “…activities (Skogan & Maxfield, 1981), which can affect the formation of social ties (Ross & Jang, 2000) and social participation (Stafford, De Silva, Stansfeld, & Marmot, 2008), and deter residents from walking in their neighborhood (Foster & Giles-Corti, 2008; Foster, GilesCorti, & Knuiman, 2014).”
• Social Determinants of Risk and Outcomes for Cardiovascular Disease: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association (2015, background): “Crimerelated safety perceptions tend to influence physical activity.(257) Poor communities have fewer neighborhood resources such as healthy food outlets and parks and recreational facilities, less availability of healthy food options, and fewer monetary and transportation resources to access resour”
• Does Fear of Crime Discourage Walkers? A Social-Ecological Exploration of Fear As a Deterrent to Walking (2014, background): “Measures of crime-related safety are now routinely incorporated in studies examining the correlates of walking or physical activity; however, relatively few studies apply specific measures of “fear of crime” (Foster & Giles-Corti, 2008).”
• Built environmental correlates of older adults’ total physical activity and walking: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017, background): “For example, a better understanding of fear of crime and assessment of the emotional rather than cognitive response to crime may be warranted [108].”
