Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the article is to present the selected fear of crime factors studies in the 2009 survey in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Design/Methods/Approach: A literature review and discussion. Findings: The review of research shows that results of fear of crime surveys in Ljubljana do not differ significantly over the last two decades. The latest survey from 2009 implies that the influence of perceived probability of victimization in an emotional reaction is strongest among those who believe that consequences of victimization can be severe, and their own ability to defend from an assailant is low. Analyses have shown that the fear of crime is strongest in women and the elderly. Personal experiences with crime do not result in an increase in perceived probability of victimization, or influence fear of crime, nor do they affect the anticipation of seriousness of the potential consequences of victimization. Research Implications: The article contributes to reflections on fear of crime based on a literature and research review as well as utilization of new models of testing fear of crime factors. Practical Implications: The article provides insight for crime control and prevention policy makers who set priorities in crime control and prevention in urban environments. Originality/Value: The article presents an overview of fear of crime factors in the Slovene studies of fear of crime with a special focus on the 2009 survey.

Secondary title: Razmišljanje o izbranih dejavnikih strahu pred kriminaliteto v Ljubljani, Slovenija
Secondary abstract: Namen prispevka: Namen prispevka je predstavitev dejavnikov strahu pred kriminaliteto iz študije o strahu pred kriminaliteto v Ljubljani v letu 2009. Metode: Pregled literature in razprava. Ugotovitve: Pregled literature in raziskav kaže, da rezultati študij o strahu pred kriminaliteto v Sloveniji v zadnjih dveh desetletjih pomembno ne odstopajo. Zadnja študija o strahu pred kriminaliteto v Ljubljani iz leta 2009 kaže, da na strah pred kriminaliteto vplivajo zaznava resnosti viktimizacije, nesposobnost samoobrambe pred napadalcem, spol (ženske) in starost (starejši ljudje). Predhodna viktimizacija in ocena verjetnosti viktimizacije se nista pokazala kot dejavnika, ki vplivata na strah pred kriminaliteto. Omejitve/uporabnost raziskave Članek, ki temelji na pregledu literature in raziskav, prispeva k razpravam o strahu pred kriminaliteto v smislu uporabe novih modelov za preučevanje strahu pred kriminaliteto in testiranje vpliva dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na strah pred kriminaliteto. Praktična uporabnost: Članek predstavlja dober vpogled v dejavnike strahu pred kriminaliteto in predstavlja osnovo za ustvarjalce kriminalitetne politike v mestnih okoljih. Izvirnost/pomembnost prispevka: Članek predstavlja pregled literature, predhodnih študij o strahu pred kriminaliteto v Sloveniji s poudarkom na študiji o strahu pred kriminaliteto iz leta 2009.
