Isi artikel

Research on fear of crime in the United States has concentrated on the personal fear while overlooking the fear that people have for others in their lives--children, spouses, friends--whose safety they value. Sample survey data reveal that altruistic fear (fear for others) has a distinctive structure in family households and is more common and often more intense than personal fear. Many of the everyday precautions practiced by Americans and conventionally assumed to be self-protective appear to be a consequence of altruistic fear. These and other findings underscore the need to understand fear of crime as a social rather than an individual phenomenon.
