Abstract
International trends indicate that the rate of crime has declined in the developed world over the past decade. The reductions have had little impact upon the fear of crime. The impact of victimisation falls disproportionately on the disadvantaged. There is little understanding of this phenomenon beyond obvious correlations. It may be compounded by the ability of the middle classes to insulate themselves from crime.
