Abstract

Past research has failed to find consistent relationships between criminal victimization and fear of crime. Except for neighborhood disorder and crime rate, few studies have examined whether other neighborhood conditions matter the victimization-fear relationship. Using survey data in Guangzhou neighborhoods, the present analysis employs multinomial logistic regression models to examine whether neighborhood characteristics moderate the relationship between violent victimization and fear of violence, and between burglary victimization and fear of burglary, separately. Some aspects of the neighborhood environment do differentially influence victims' and non-victims' fear levels. Besides verifying the interaction effect of neighborhood disorder and victimization, the present study finds that neighborhood policing alleviates the harmful effect of violent victimization on fear, while collective efficacy fosters the harmful effect of burglary victimization on fear. This paper underscores the significance of the social context of urban China in explaining the interplay of neighborhood characteristics and victimization on fear of crime.

特定犯罪受害情况如何影响中国城市居民的犯罪恐惧?邻里特征的作用。
以往的研究未能发现犯罪受害与犯罪恐惧之间存在一致的关系。除了邻里关系混乱和犯罪率之外,很少有研究探讨其他邻里条件是否会影响受害与恐惧之间的关系。本研究利用广州社区的调查数据,采用多项式逻辑回归模型,分别研究了社区特征是否会调节暴力受害与暴力恐惧之间的关系,以及入室盗窃受害与入室盗窃恐惧之间的关系。邻里环境的某些方面确实会对受害者和非受害者的恐惧水平产生不同程度的影响。除了验证邻里混乱与受害的交互效应外,本研究还发现邻里治安缓解了暴力受害对恐惧的有害影响,而集体效能则促进了入室盗窃受害对恐惧的有害影响。本文强调了中国城市社会背景在解释邻里特征和受害情况对犯罪恐惧的交互影响方面的重要意义。
