| Summary |
Annotation Scott uses a systemic social-control approach to explain inner-city African Americans' fear of crime from their perspective. Perceptions of neighborhood disorder (intra-community control) and views of local police (extra-community control) predict fear of local violent and property crime. Perceived crime-risk is a mediating factor between these fears and the two systemic factors. The systemic argument was supported: perceived local disorder and negative views of police increased residents' fear of crime. Central to any reduction in inner-city African Americans' fear of crime is their perception that there be strong intra- and extra-community control barriers between themselves and crime. |
