Citations in the corpus

• Women's and men's fear of gang crimes: Sexual and nonsexual assault as perceptually contemporaneous offenses (2003, background): “Those that did found that Latinos are even more fearful than are African Americans ( Chiricos, Padgett, & Gertz, 2000; Haghighi & Sorensen, 1996; Parker, McMorris, Smith, & Murty, 1993).”
• Does Watching the News Affect Fear of Terrorism? The Importance of Media Exposure on Terrorism Fear (2012, background): “Chiricos et al. (2000) proposed that the effects of exposure to the news media might be mitigated if an individual is skeptical about the credibility of the account presented, but their data did not support this hypothesis.”
• Media, Gender, and Fear of Crime (2015, result): “However, our findings are consistent with prior research in terms of size of coefficients and the direction of the relationships (Chiricos et al., 1997, 2000; Eschholz et al., 2003).”
