ABSTRACT

For several decades, a body of literature has emerged to identify determinants of fear of crime under various models. However, few studies have explored determinants of specific fear of crime. To fill the void of previous researches, this study tried to test the determinants of general and specific fear of crime under three models (Victimization model, Disorder model, and Social integration model). On the basis of survey data on 1,230 randomly selected at Daegu, logistic analysis found that some findings are consistent with previous studies, but the others are not. The effects of the variables in the specific fear of crime model are different in magnitude but the findings show that similar factors predictor fear of crime. However, this study found that some factors only affect on the specific fear of crime. For example, married people are afraid more than not married people for a home burglary and a home. Further, this study found that, contrary to expectation, people who perceive more disorders feel less fear of crime, and social bonds have different influences on specific fear of crime.
