Experiencing personal violence significantly impacts individuals, leading to fear and alienation. Property crime and community exposure had lesser effects, while social status influenced outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental psychology
  • Criminology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Crime and violence can create alienation between individuals and their environments.
  • Understanding these ecological consequences is crucial for community well-being.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the ecological consequences of crime and violence on individuals.
  • To examine the roles of fear of crime, avoidance behavior, anomia, and external locus of control.
  • To assess the influence of individual and community-level crime exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted on a large statewide sample of adult Kentuckians.
  • Criterion variables (fear of crime, avoidance, anomia, locus of control) were regressed on social status, crime measures, and their interactions.
