关于犯罪恐惧的研究和理论化主要由研究人员主导，他们依赖社会学或社会人口学变量来解释恐惧程度的变化。虽然这一系列的工作极大地促进了我们对犯罪恐惧的理解，但我们仍然远远没有充分理解当代社会的这一重要和最具腐蚀性的方面。本文重新审视了目前关于犯罪恐惧的唯一社会心理模型。通过纳入社会心理和社会人口变量，作者能够解释大约三分之一的犯罪恐惧的变化。
Research and theorizing about the fear of crime has, in the main, been dominated by researchers who have relied upon sociological or socio-demographic variables to account for variations in fear levels. Whilst this body of work has contributed greatly to our understanding of the fear of crime, we are still far from a full understanding of this important and most corrosive aspect of contemporary society. This article re-examines what is currently just about the only social psychological model of the fear of crime. By incorporating social psychological and socio-demographic variables, the authors are able to account for approximately one third of the variance of the fear of crime.
