Fear of Crime, Incivilities, and Collective Efficacy in Four Miami Neighborhoods (2013, background): “INTRODUCTION There is a well-established connection between neighborhood conditions and well known deleterious conditions including serious violent crime (Bursik & Grasmik, 1993; Messner & Tardiff, 1986; Sampson &Groves, 1989), gang membership (Hill, Howell, Hawkins, & BattinPearson, 1999), school p”
Perceptions of risk (2013, result): “Studies examining this relationship have consistently provided evidence to support a strong positive effect of perceptions of risk on increased levels of fear (Baron, 2011; Ferraro, 1995; Gainey et al., 2011; LaGrange and Ferraro, 1989; LaGrange et al., 1992; Mesch, 2000; Otis, 2007; Rader et al., 2”

Fear Perceptions in Public Parks (2013, result): “Other outcomes, such as perceived risk might show different results (Wyant, 2008).”
Fear of crime and vulnerability: Using a national sample of Americans to examine two competing paradigms (2012, background): “In addition, communities with increased levels of incivilities and disorder may cause members of those communities to feel more vulnerable to victimization and can lead to increased fear (Markowitz et al., 2001; Wyant, 2008).”
