Book Synopsis Social Order and the Fear of Crime in Contemporary Times by : Stephen D. Farrall
Book excerpt: The fear of crime has been recognized as an important social problem, affecting a significant number of people. In this book, the authors review the findings from over 35 years of research into attitudes to crime and propose a new model, separating those who only 'expressively' fear crime from those who have actual experience of worrying about it.
