Public Anxiety about Crime

Is anxiety about crime rational, based on personal experience as a criminal victim? Or is it based on something more remote, such as opposition to social change? In the face of conflicting evidence, Furstenberg proposed dividing anxiety into two components: Fear, which tends to have some “rational” basis; and concern, which does not. The present study reexamines the Furstenberg thesis, using different indicators and a quite different sample.
