"Reactions to Crime in Cross-national Perspective," in Anna Frate, Ugi Zvekic and
Jan Van Dijk (eds.), Understanding Crime, Experiences of Crime and Crime Control.
Rome: United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute, 1993,
257-270.
This paper examines popular reactions to the threat of crime. Unlike a great deal of research on fear, this
paper does not dwell on perceptions or emotional states; rather, it focuses on what they do as a reaction to
the threat of crime. It examines three distinctive clusters of crime-related behaviors: the precautions that
people take to insulate themselves from personal attack, the things they do to protect the place where they
live, and gun ownership. The paper examines these issues across the 14 nations included in the 1989
sweep of the International Crime Survey. Slightly over 28,000 persons were interviewed in the survey.
