“…The theory adds that presence of destructive impulses may ruin people's psychological well-being. Thus, the degree of residents' FTA is mitigated by perception of police response to emergencies (Kiyimba et al, 2022). Similarly, residents' psychological wellness or strain is a consequence of their general experiences, satisfaction and confidence with policing (Ferdik et al, 2022;O'Reilly et al, 2022).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the moderated-mediation roles of perception of police response to crime and digital interclass coalition against crime between fear of terrorist attacks and psychological distress among residents of Tema Metropolis in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach A cluster sampling technique was used in the selection of 577 residents who answered questions on fear of terrorism, perception of police response to crime, digital interclass coalition against crime and psychological distress. The study used regression analysis to assess the hypothesized paths. Findings The findings show that digital interclass coalition against crime moderates the partially mediated relationship between perception of police response to crime and residents’ psychological distress. Research limitations/implications The study is limited in scope by the generalization of its findings, as it was restricted to only residents of Tema Metropolis in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Originality/value This research is one of the first in criminal psychology to explore the relevance of police-public engagement in averting large-scale crime in an emerging economy.

Post-traumatic stress disorder appears as a delayed or prolonged response to a stressful event or situation, extremely threatening or catastrophic in nature, which can cause pervasive anxiety in almost any person. For example, natural disasters, fights, serious accidents, witnessing the violent death of other persons, victims of torture, terrorism, rape and other crimes. A traumatic experience is an experience out of the ordinary, that is, the experience of endangering one's own or someone else's life, accompanied by helplessness and horror. Posttraumatic stress disorder is only one of the syndromes that can be a consequence of psychological traumatization.
