Abstract

Research on fear of crime (FOC) is well established in urban contexts. However, few studies explore how common predictors of FOC operate within nonurban environments. This study examines typical predictors of FOC within the nonurban context of Roma, Queensland, and specifically explores mental health as a predictor in this context. Using survey data, key findings indicate that a number of individual and ecological level predictors, such as gender, prior victimization, social cohesion, and social disorder, remain consistent with previous literature on urban contexts. However, these results counter recent findings indicating that gender does not predict FOC in the nonurban context. Interestingly, the results also indicate that mental health is not a predictor of FOC. These findings present implications for fear reduction strategies and future research in nonurban contexts.
夜复一夜,我的心跳显示恐惧:在非城市的澳大利亚背景下检查对犯罪的恐惧预测
对犯罪恐惧(FOC)的研究在城市背景下已经确立。然而,很少有研究探讨FOC的常见预测因子如何在非城市环境中发挥作用。这项研究考察了昆士兰罗姆人非城市背景下FOC的典型预测因素,并特别探讨了心理健康作为这一背景下的预测因素。使用调查数据,关键发现表明,许多个人和生态层面的预测因素,如性别、先前的受害情况、社会凝聚力和社会混乱,与以前关于城市背景的文献保持一致。然而,这些结果与最近的研究结果相反,最近的研究表明,在非城市背景下,性别不能预测FOC。有趣的是,研究结果还表明,心理健康并不是FOC的预测因素。这些发现为减少恐惧的策略和未来在非城市背景下的研究提供了启示。
