Sažetak
Fear of crime has become a social fact of great inspiration for criminologists in many countries. Theoretical models and research instruments are constantly growing and opening more areas and issues yet to be addressed. Numbers of researches were conducted in USA and European regions. This research focuses on Croatia as a country with relatively new democracy. The research was conducted during March 2009 by face to face interviews on the sample of the residents of urban environments of capitol city. The first aim of this study was to examine level of fear of crime in Croatia and compare variables from sociodemographic and socio-psychological model of fear of crime originally proposed by van der Wurff et al. (1989) with result from some other researches (a questionnaire was expanded with additional sets of variables like interpersonal trust, incivilities, trust in societal institutions, perceived risk and others). The second aim was to examine the relationship between trust in the government and the police and fear of crime.
