‘Eyes on where children play’: a retrospective study of active free play (2015, background): “Parental concerns about road safety have been negatively associated with children’s neighborhood walking and cycling (Hillman, Adams, and Whitelegg 1990; Tranter and Pawson 2001; Timperio et al. 2004; Carver et al. 2010).”
Meanings of play among children (2013, background): “Safety concerns have often been cited in response including concerns about outdoor darkness, neighborhood deprivation, crime, street traffic, and absence of adult supervision (Carver et al., 2008; Veitch et al., 2006).”
The Association Between the Fear of Crime, and Mental and Physical Wellbeing in New Zealand (2014, result): “Fearful participants were found to exercise less, saw friends less often, and participated in fewer social activities compared with the less fearful participants, as found in other research (Carver et al. 2008; Loukaitou-Sideris and Eck 2007).”
Does the walkability of neighbourhoods affect children's independent mobility, independent of parental, socio-cultural and individual factors? (2014, background): “Children’s perceptions of people walking and cycling and interactions with neighbours and friends is associated with increases in children’s outdoor activity in previous studies (Timperio et al. 2004; Evenson et al. 2007; Carver, Timperio, and Crawford 2008; Page et al. 2010).”
