Abstract

Looking through the investigations carried out, it is suggested that FEAR OF CRIME among WOMEN can be brought up as a somewhat social problem of great concern in most of the world societies. This research has been taken in three stages to explain the nature and extent of the FEAR OF CRIME, and its effects on the behavior of the WOMEN aging over fifteen in different situations. Three stages are drawn up as follows:1. studying the resources and setting up the theoretical framework, 2. going into the exploratory studies and,3. Working up and analyzing the final questionnaire.In the theoretical framework the effective factors on the FEAR OF CRIME in correlation with the personality and the surroundings were grounded on Roundtree and Land (1996), Skogan (1987), McGarrell (1997), Fleming (1999), Thomas and Hyman (1977), Levin (1902) and Valentine (1990) with the Stand-point of a variety of scientific theories, also brought in.Drawing upon the theories, the following variables were considered as effective factors on the FEAR OF CRIME: "individual's experience of insecurity", "the individual's perception of adherence to the moral and religious values in society"," family's, friends', and the others' experiences of the FEAR OF CRIME", " obedience to the law in society", "police performance", "performance of the judiciary system", "the individual's knowledge of the city" self assertiveness and confidence", "capability of asserting and defending oneself', "individual's idea of crime and her assessment of its frequency and extent in her own city or neighborhood", "extent of relationship with neighbors", "religious faith", "individual's conception of discrimination against WOMEN in society", "social class", "age", "marital status", "clothing preferences", "approach that the police takes to deal with the citizens", "illumination in allies, passages...", "police presence, dependability and responsibility", and "public transport".Conclusions ultimately drawn established that all independent variables but "social class", "clothing preferences", "marital status", "religious faith" and "self assertiveness and confidence" made a significant contribution to the FEAR OF CRIME. However, as multi-variable regression test revealed, out of all other variables, only 2 explain the corresponding variation of the dependent variable: "Individual's idea of public obedience to law" with Beta =0.54 and "experience of insecurity on the part of individual, her family, friends, all the L" with Beta = 0.36. Furthermore "illumination in a district", and "police presence not least in quiet times", turned out to play the most predominant role in the individuals' (the girls and WOMEN over fifteen years old) perception of the FEAR OF CRIME.
