本文分析了对夜间经济犯罪的恐惧，认为这是一个事件，它是在特定的地方与人类和非人类因素不断遭遇的一部分。一个概念性的方法来理解犯罪的恐惧阐述，突出了模糊性的作用，这意味着一个特定的元素没有稳定的，明确的影响，对犯罪的恐惧，和思考的重要性，恐惧的折叠直接的未来和过去的经验到现在。借鉴荷兰乌得勒支大学生的实证研究，本文探讨了照明，警务和“不受欢迎的人”的存在如何影响恐惧。多种形式的模糊性被证明存在，这表明，在建筑环境和零容忍警务策略的干预不太可能减少对犯罪的恐惧，在夜间经济过去的研究，有影响力的政策和媒体话语所建议的。
This article analyses fear of crime in the night-time economy as an event that emerges from, and unfolds as part of, the on-going encounters with human and non-human elements in particular places. A conceptual approach to understanding fear of crime is elaborated that highlights the role of ambiguity, meaning that a particular element does not have stable, well-determined effects on fear of crime, and the importance of thinking of fear as the folding of immediate futures and the past into the experienced present. Drawing on empirical research with university students in Utrecht, the Netherlands, the article explores how lighting, policing and the presence of ‘undesired others’ affect fear. Multiple forms of ambiguity are shown to exist, suggesting that interventions in the built environment and zero-tolerance policing tactics are unlikely to reduce fear of crime in the night-time economy as much as past research, influential policy and media discourses have suggested.
