Citations in the corpus

• FEELINGS AND FUNCTIONS IN THE FEAR OF CRIME Applying a New Approach to Victimisation Insecurity (2011, background): “This paper provides further evidence that worry does not necessarily diminish well-being, but can involve psychologically low-cost, potentially beneficial behaviour that leads to the aversion of threats and hazards (Jackson and Gray 2010).”
• The Association Between the Fear of Crime, and Mental and Physical Wellbeing in New Zealand (2014, background): “Previous research of this nature neglects the important role that recorded crime within individuals’ neighbourhoods play in confounding the relationship between fear and wellbeing, since theoretically some level of fear in dangerous areas may be advantageous (avoiding harm; Jackson and Gray 2010).”
