Social6 - People Security6.1 - Control of Crime
Description
Perceived crime is an indicator of people security that identifies the quality of life of the NBS users. If higher crime rates are perceived, people experience anxiety or fear of crime, decrease in the motivation to consume the NBS or participate the communal activities. So, high levels of perceived crime hinders benefits of the NBS such as personal health or social cohesion. Literature identifies that women, old, less educated people develop higher levels of fear of crime (Sulemana 2015).
