The Perception and Fear of Crime: Implications for Neighborhood Cohesion, Social Activity, and Community Affect.

Hartnagel, Timothy F.

Social Forces, v58 n1 p176-93 Sep 1979

Data collected from interviews with residents of a western Canadian city did not support the hypothesis that the perception and fear of crime would be inversely related to neighborhood cohesion and social activity. But as hypothesized, the fear of crime was negatively related to affect for the community. (RLV)
