“…However, some studies have found that people with high socio-economic status experienced more fear of crime, and the explanation was that they had more to lose [ 67 ]. Interestingly, the results of this study found that women who reported fear of crime and had a university education/similar had statistically significant and increased odds of anxiety even after controlling for other variables.…”

Fear of crime is an important public health problem that impacts people’s quality of life, health, and wellbeing, and causes mental health ailments (e.g., anxiety). This study aimed to determine whether there was an association between fear of crime, educational attainment, and self-rated health and anxiety among women residing in a county in east-central Sweden. A sample (n = 3002) of women aged 18–84 years surveyed in the Health on Equal Terms survey carried out in 2018 was included in the study. Bivariate and multivariate regression analysis was performed on the relationship between the composite variables fear of crime, educational attainment, and self-rated health and anxiety. Women with primary education or similar who reported fear of crime had increased odds of poor health (odds ratio (OR) 3.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.40–4.18) compared with women with primary education/similar and no fear of crime (OR 2.90; CI 1.90–3.20). A statistically significant relationship persisted in the multivariate analysis after controlling for other covariates, although the odds were reduced (OR 1.70; CI 1.14–2.53 and 1.73; CI 1.21–2.48, respectively). Similarly, in the bivariate analysis, women who reported fear of crime and who only had primary education had statistically significant odds of anxiety (OR 2.12; CI 1.64–2.74); the significance was removed, and the odds were reduced (OR 1.30; CI 0.93–1.82) after adjusting for demographic, socioeconomic, and health-related covariates. Women with only primary education or similar who reported fear of crime had higher odds of poor health and anxiety compared with those with university education or similar, with and without fear of crime. Future studies (including longitudinal ones) are warranted—on the one hand, to understand possible mechanisms of the relationship between educational attainment and fear of crime and its consequences to health, and on the other, to explore low-educated women’s own perceptions regarding factors underlining their fear of crime (qualitative studies).

“…Dalam analisis kritis, penerapan teori modal sosial tergantung pada tingkat keterlibatan dan kualitas hubungan antaraktor. Kemampuan modal sosial untuk merentangkan pengaruhnya dalam menghadapi tantangan struktural juga perlu dievaluasi, serta bagaimana modal sosial dapat mengatasi hambatan yang mungkin muncul selama proses pemberdayaan (Hernández, Dammert, & Kanashiro, 2020).…”

WOMEN'S EMPOWERMENT BASED ON FEMINIST RAPID RESPONSE RESEARCH (FRRR) IN ADVOCACY TO MINIMIZE ACTS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCEThis study aims to analyze the implementation of women's empowerment in the form of advocacy efforts to minimize instances of sexual violence. Sexual violence poses a severe challenge that threatens women's well-being and hinders the achievement of gender equality. Various cases of sexual violence highlight the necessity of community involvement as an essential element in addressing prevention and advocacy for handling crimes and sexual violence against women. The Feminist Rapid Response Research (FRRR) approach is one form of methodology that combines feminist principles with rapid responses to gender issues, enabling an efficient approach to addressing sexual violence. In this research, a qualitative approach and descriptive method are employed to gain profound insights into how women's empowerment through advocacy efforts using the FRRR approach is implemented. Data collection involves conducting in-depth interviews with groups such as the Family Welfare Empowerment and Youth Association to gather information about their perceptions of advocacy in minimizing sexual violence. The research findings indicate that, due to the crisis of sexual violence, there is a need to provide protection for women by enacting appropriate regulations to prevent and reduce sexual violence while also combatting it. Additionally, there is a need for mentorship-based programs capable of achieving new outcomes, such as advocating for resources and supporting facilities that enable collective understanding in documenting collectively when formulating strategies for new feminist organizational approaches as efforts to minimize cases of sexual violence in their environment.Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis implementasi pemberdayaan perempuan berbentuk upaya advokasi dalam meminimalisir tindak kekerasan seksual. Kekerasan seksual menjadi tantangan serius yang mengancam kesejahteraan perempuan dan menghambat pencapaian kesetaraan gender. Berbagai kasus kekerasan seksual yang terjadi menyebabkan perlunya peran serta masyarakat sebagai eleman yang berperan menangani bentuk pencegahan dan advokasi penanganan kasus kejahatan dan kekerasan seksual pada perempuan. Pendekatan Feminist Rapid Response Research (FRRR) merupakan salah satu bentuk pendekatan yang menggabungkan prinsip-prinsip feminis dengan respons cepat terhadap isu-isu gender, memungkinkan penanganan yang efisien terhadap tindak kekerasan seksual. Dalam penelitian ini, pendekatan kualitatif dan metode deskriptif digunakan untuk mendapatkan wawasan mendalam tentang bagaimana implementasi pemberdayaan perempuan berbentuk upaya advokasi dengan pendekatan FRRR. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam pada kelompok PKK (Pemberdayaan Kesejahteraan Keluarga) dan Karang Taruna, untuk mengumpulkan data tentang persepsi mereka terhadap advokasi dalam meminimalisir kekerasan seksual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, atas dasar krisis kekerasan seksual, perlu memberikan perlindungan bagi perempuan dengan menjadikan regulasi yang tepat untuk mencegah dan mengurangi kekerasan seksual sekaligus memeranginya. Selain itu, perlu program berbasis pendampingan yang mampu memberikan capaian baru berupa advokasi sarana dan prasarana pendukung yang memungkinkan pemahaman untuk mendokumentasikan secara kolektif dalam penyusunan strategi untuk cara-cara baru pengorganisasian feminis sebagai upaya dalam meminimalisir kasus kekerasan seksual di lingkungan mereka.

“…See, for instance, [4,8,[20][21][22]. In Latin America in particular, there has been work on the determinants of fear of crime [23] and the perceived risk of crime [24] in Peru; the determinants of fear of crime in Brazil and Argentina [25]; the relationship between fear of crime and the media in Paraguay [26]; the effect of fear of crime on trust in the policy and the judiciary in several countries, including Mexico, Argentina and Brazil [27]; and the relationship between fear of crime and social cohesion in Brazil [18,28]. Another area that has been studied in the region is the relationship between fear of crime and punitive attitudes [29][30][31].…”

The fear-increasing and fear-decreasing effects of a pilot policy to reduce fear of crime

Fear of crime has been rising persistently in Chile, even in periods where actual crime rates have decreased, making the perception of crime an important policy issue. This paper presents the results of the impact evaluation of a pilot public policy designed to reduce fear of crime around a shopping centre in Santiago, Chile. The pilot policy consisted of installing a team including police officers and local government officials that handed out information leaflets and talked to passers-by about crime prevention. Pre-intervention and post-intervention surveys were conducted in the shopping centre where the programme was implemented and in a control shopping centre nearby to identify the causal effects of the policy using a difference-in-differences empirical strategy. The results indicate that the programme was effective in reducing fear of crime around the shopping centre, especially at night among its workers, and that it reduced actual crime. However, a deeper analysis suggests that the programme might have actually increased fear of crime among the individuals who directly interacted with the programme. The reduction in crime might have indirectly resulted in an overall reduction in fear among workers, who are likely to be up to date on criminal occurrences in the area, explaining how an increase in fear in those directly contacted is consistent with an overall reduction in fear across workers.
