Abstract [en]

Do neighborhoods generate fear of crime? In their renowned study published in Criminology, Brunton-Smith and Sturgis (2011) examined this research question using data from three waves of the British Crime Survey (now the Crime Survey for England and Wales). The authors conclude that both neighborhood structural characteristics, signs of disorder, and reported crime rates independently affect individual-level fear of criminal victimization. By utilizing data from six waves of the Swedish Crime Survey, spanning 2018 and 2023, the current study partially replicates the Brunton-Smith and Sturgis study. Utilizing multi-level modelling of roughly 400,00 respondents nested in about 6,000 neighborhoods, the current study examines whether the original findings hold with more recent data and across national contexts.
