“…These neighborhood perceptions may vary across subgroups defined by socio-demographic background (Kamphius et al 2010;O'Brien et al 2014), such as immigrant status. Immigrants are often blamed for a rise in crime, violence, or social illness, which in turn affects the perceptions that both local residents and immigrants have about their neighborhood environments, especially in immigrant concentrated areas (Chiricos, McEntire, and Gertz 2001;Semyonov, Gorodzeisky, and Glikma 2012). So far most evidence on these issues is based on studies conducted in Western societies, which may not be applicable to other social, economic, and cultural settings.…”

“…suggests that there is a negative relationship between educational level and risk perception, implying that the less educated have higher risk perceptions (Dosman et al, 2001;Savage 1993). Moreover, Chiricos et al (2000) found that those with lower levels of education have higher levels of perceived risk of criminal victimization. However, when specifically observing public risk perceptions of firearms, Kahan et al (2007) found a positive and statistically significant relationship between education and perceived dangerousness of guns.…”

“…In the United States, fear of crime and perceived risk of victimization have been associated with the perceived ethnic density of the neighborhood (Chiricos, McEntire, & Gertz, 2001). In Australia, overestimated perceived diversity (as measured by the respondent’s estimation of the percentage of non-White residents in the neighborhood) has been associated with higher reported neighborhood disorder (Wickes, Hipp, Zahnow, & Mazerolle, 2013).…”

“…We investigate community empowerment as an outcome, which has not been done previously. On the basis of the literature reviewed, we would expect to find negative associations between perceived diversity and residential, social, safety, and empowerment outcomes, due to a mixture of factors including unfamiliarity with newcomers, aversion to social change, tensions, conflicts and competition between settled and migrant groups, and perceived lack of control over community change (Bakker & Dekker, 2012; Chiricos et al, 2001; Havekes, Coenders, Dekker, & van der Lippe, 2014; Livingston et al, 2010). …”
