The Routledge International Handbook on Fear of Crime brings together original and international state of the art contributions of theoretical empirical policy-related scholarship on the intersection of perceptions of crime victimisation vulnerability and risk. This is timely as fear of crime has now been a focus of scholarly and policy interest for some fifty years and shows little sign of abating. Research on fear of crime is demonstrative of the inter-disciplinarity of criminology drawing in the disciplines of sociology psychology political science history cultural studies gender studies planning and architecture philosophy and human geography. This collection draws in many of these interdisciplinary themes. This collections also extends the boundaries of fear of crime research. It does this both methodologically and conceptually but perhaps more importantly it moves us beyond some of the often repeated debates in this field to focus on novel topics from unique perspectives. The book begins by plotting the history of fear of crime’s development then moves on to investigate the methodological and theoretical debates that have ensued and the policy transfer that occurred across jurisdictions. Key elements in debates and research on fear of crime concerning gender race and ethnicity are covered as are contemporary themes in fear of crime research such as regulation security risk and the fear of terrorism the mapping of fear of crime and fear of crime beyond urban landscapes. The final sections of the book explore geographies of fear and future and unique directions for this research.
