Worry about different types of crime follows a downward trajectory, with worries about car-related crimes showing the strongest decline. Although both men’s and women’s worries decline over time, the gender gap in worry about crime reveals a narrowing trend for crimes that involve physical interaction with the offender (e.g., assault or rape) due to women’s worries decreasing more rapidly than men’s. Potential reasons for the general downward trend include the steady decline in crime rates, the rise in security standards, and a shift in worry from traditional to newer forms of crime (e.g., cybercrime). Rising gender equality and women’s empowerment over the last few decades may explain the narrowing trend in the gender gap in worry about personal crime.
