Daily Echo (Bournemouth) 5/5/2020 News Developing A Model of Perceptions of Security and Insecurity in the Context of Crime The current study was carried out as part of the CITYCOP project exploring fear of crime, risk perception and feelings of security and insecurity. Participants (n = 272) from 11 European countries answered a questionnaire exploring measures of risk perception, fear of crime, anxiety, trust in police and related behaviours. A seven-factor structure is proposed incorporating ‘Signs of Social and Physical Disorder’, ‘Trust in Police’, ‘Trait Anxiety’, ‘Collective Efficacy’, ‘Perceived Risk of Victimisation’, ‘Fear of Personal Harm’ and ‘Fear of Property Theft’.

Efforts should be made to reduce feelings of insecurity through encouraging trust in law enforcement and community interaction and reducing signs of social and physical disorder.
