• A Gendered Assessment of the ‘‘Threat of Victimization’’: Examining Gender Differences in Fear of Crime, Perceived Risk, Avoidance, and Defensive Behaviors (2010, background): “Rader et al. (2007) found partial support for this argument when they determined that, although fear of crime was reciprocally related to perceived risk and avoidance/defensive behaviors, perceived risk and avoidance/defensive behaviors were not related.”
• Perceptions of risk (2013, background): “The direction of the effect with most support is that those educated to a lower level perceive a higher risk of criminal victimization (Chiricos et al., 2001; Rader et al., 2007), specifically for personal offences (Ferraro, 1995; LaGrange and Ferraro, 1989).”
