victimization; fear of crime

Sažetak
Since the 1960s a body of criminological research is dedicated to the notion that fear of crime might be product of personal victimization. Empirical studies show virtually no relationship between personal experiences with criminal victimization and fear of crime. A cognitive - transactional victimization - fear theory (Winkel, 1998) will be tested, which centres around the significance of two interacting cognitions: the perceived risk of victimization and the negative consequences that are associated with a potential or actual victimization. Survey data from Slovenia, Croatia, Bosina and Hercegovina, Serbia and Macedonia will be tested comparatively.
