Opis

Drawing on over fifty years of research, the Routledge Handbook on Fear of Crime brings together original and international contributions and offers a state of the art of theoretical, empirical, policy-related scholarship on the intersection of fear of crime, victimisation, vulnerability and risk. Research on fear of crime is demonstrative of the inter-disciplinarily of criminology, taking in disciplines of sociology, psychology, political science, philosophy and human geography.
This book is the first authoritative book to bring together a multi-faceted and comprehensive collection of chapters together around the key themes of fear of crime research. It begins by plotting the history of fear of crime's development and then moves on to investigate the methodological and theoretical debates that ensued, and the policy transfer that occurred across jurisdictions. Key elements in debates and research on fear of crime concerning gender, race and ethnicity are covered, as are contemporary themes in fear of crime research, such as security, risk and the fear of terrorism, the mapping of fear of crime, fear of crime beyond urban landscapes, and fear of crime in post-conflict contexts.
