The current study was carried out as part of the CITYCOP project exploring fear of crime, risk perception and feelings of security and insecurity. Participants ( = 272) from 11 European countries answered a questionnaire exploring measures of risk perception, fear of crime, anxiety, trust in police and related behaviours. A seven-factor structure is proposed incorporating 'Signs of Social and Physical Disorder', 'Trust in Police', 'Trait Anxiety', 'Collective Efficacy', 'Perceived Risk of Victimisation', 'Fear of Personal Harm' and 'Fear of Property Theft'. Overall findings suggest that the measures associated with feelings of insecurity are negatively related to the measures associated with feelings of security. Efforts should be made to reduce feelings of insecurity through encouraging trust in law enforcement and community interaction and reducing signs of social and physical disorder.
当前的这项研究是“城市治安项目”的一部分，该项目旨在探究对犯罪的恐惧、风险认知以及安全感和不安全感。来自11个欧洲国家的272名参与者回答了一份问卷，该问卷探究了风险认知、对犯罪的恐惧、焦虑、对警察的信任以及相关行为的测量方法。提出了一个七因素结构，包括“社会和身体失序迹象”“对警察的信任”“特质焦虑”“集体效能”“感知到的受害风险”“对人身伤害的恐惧”和“对财产盗窃的恐惧”。总体研究结果表明，与不安全感相关的测量方法与与安全感相关的测量方法呈负相关。应通过鼓励对执法部门的信任和社区互动以及减少社会和身体失序迹象来努力减少不安全感。
