The decision to commit robbery
Exploring the relationship between crime and place in the countryside
A letter from Cyprus
Assisting Victims. The British Model in Comparative Context
The article focusses on victims of domestic burglary. The author begins by showing the evidence of the harm to the victim’s well being caused by this type of crime. Furthermore, the author presents examples of services that provide personal help shortly after a crime, from both the US (victim assistance programmes) and the UK (victim support services) in order to illustrate the differences between them and the difficulties of moving towards commo…
Attempting to Reduce Hotel Burglary
Alternative Measures of ‘Fear of Crime‘
‘Fear of crime’ has aroused considerable academic debate, with criticisms both of exactly what is being measured and analysis of the relationship between fear and risk. At the same time, national and international surveys have increased reliance on a select ‘package’ of measures of fear. Using more precise questions from a rural crime survey conducted as part of the 2001 Crime Audits, this paper argues that locally contextualised surveys offer th…

Crime and Disorder
While there has, recently, been a spate of research on the victimisation of businesses, rather less research has focused on the perceptions of the business community, and — in contrast to studies of the general public — little emphasis has been placed on explaining variations in concern over crime and disorder. This article uses data from the 2001 Cornwall Business Crime Survey to explore the extent to which business people in a rural county of E…

Providing a Secure Home for Older Residents
This paper describes an evaluation of a crime prevention initiative which was targeted at older local authority tenants in areas of the city where crime was of particular local concern. Our evaluation suggests that it was successful in addressing both crime and fear of crime. Respondents indicated that they were very satisfied with the service and felt safer as a result of it. Moreover, recorded burglary statistics revealed a marked reduction. It…
Victimisation on Holiday
While a number of tourism researchers have considered the relationship between tourism and crime, the topic has rarely been addressed by criminologists, and most of the evidence available is derived from official statistics. Using data from an exploratory survey of people's experiences and perceptions of crime on holiday, this paper assesses the extent to which holidaymakers are victimised. Compared with BCS data, the findings indicate that touri…
Police response to crime
While police structures and functions have changed dramatically in post‐communist societies, as yet little research has been carried out to either evaluate these changes or monitor victims' perceptions of the 'new' police. Here we report on an exploratory study that monitors the experiences of 398 burglary victims in Poland, and compare the findings with those from England. While Polish victims perceived the police as having changed in a number o…
The Impact of Burglary
Victims' experiences of burglary in two contrasting English cities are compared, using data from a wider cross-national survey. Perceptions of the incident are assessed in terms of financial costs and the wider impact, including the effect of the crime on children in the household, and these are considered alongside the operation of victim support in the two areas. Finally victims' reactions are compared according to concern over future victimisa…
Evaluating Core Policing in Britain
Critical Victimology
The authors outline and discuss the issues facing victims today and address the fundamental question: How can we best ensure justice for victims, while at the same time preserving the rights of defendants?
Crime Victims
What does crime do to its victims? Does the state do enough to help them? How much can the voluntary organizations do? Crime Victims provides the first comprehensive review of victimization and the policies aimed at ameliorating its effect
A Localised Crime Survey in Contrasting Areas of a City
A crime survey was conducted in seven small residential areas (pop. 2000–3000) in the city of Sheffield, varying in their housing type and offcial crime rates. Within each housing type, the suruey found that official crime statistics were valid indicators of area crime-rate differences. However, the two high-rise housing areas appeartd as more problematic in the crime survey than in oficial data, with a particularly high ratio of survey offeness …
Fear of crime and concern over the crime problem among the elderly
Earlier research has shown that whereas the elderly appear to be relatively protected from crime, they show the most concern about the crime problem. Research from a survey in Sheffield, England, which replicates these findings, is described. However, a contrast emerged between perceptions of crime on a general level and perceptions of area of residence and crime levels within it, which suggests that earlier distinctions between fear of crime and…

Defensible Space
The assertion that where crimes take place is to a large extent determined by physical lay-out has been made forcibly by Oscar Newman in 'Defensible Space', where particular attention is given to the problem of high rise developments. Here, data from a Sheffield survey has been used to test whether area crime patterns do vary with design features. Some differences were found, but these by no means showed high rise flats to be at a disadvantage. T…

Press Coverage of Social Work
The ways in which social workers are criticised in the press have led to concern in the profession, especially in cases involving child-battering, and illustrated more recently in press reactions to the social workers’ strike. Here, local and national press reports for two months in 1978 have been analysed to provide a broad picture of press treatment of social work material, both with regard to controversial issues and the day-to-day handling of…

A Note on Domestic Disputes Reported to the Police
Social Work Under Pressure
ing strike action on a larger scale, and for a longer period, than ever before. To many, such action may seem surprising. Social workers in England have never been parti-cularly well paid, and are in any case seen as protective towards their clients, who are the chief group to suffer from a strike. Why then did the social workers strike? What problems currently face social workers in Britain? Here no attempt can be made to assess the mood of soci…
