Research on fear of crime has revealed the impact that neighborhoods' racial composition has on individuals' perceptions of fear and safety. Yet, few studies have examined how between-neighborhood variation in diversity, as distinct from minority concentration, influences residents' perceptions. Using multilevel regression and drawing on data gathered from a sample of residents in the Greater Houston Area, we examine the between-neighborhood effects of diversity on perceived risk of victimization. Our findings suggest that both individual and community factors have utility for predicting fear of crime and that racial and ethnic heterogeneity influence fear differently for members of different racial groups
