The role of autonomous mobility in public space on fear of crime among adolescents
Despite their pivotal role in public discourse and research on fear of crime, knowledge on fear of crime among young people remains limited, as they are mostly seen as (primary) causes of fear. In this study, the impact of the frequency of autonomous presence (thus without formal adult supervision) in public space on fear of crime in a representative sample of 14- to 19-year-old Flemish (Belgian) adolescents is investigated. In contrast with trad…

The few studies that have been conducted have identified several determinants, but the relative weight of these (sets of) variables remains unknown. This article therefore not only tries to identify which factors determine adolescents’ fear of crime but also seeks to distingu…
