“…Lotz found that religion was not associated with fear of crime at all, and the results of the current study run counter to Lotz's hypothesis that religious conservatives worry more about crime [11]. The current study also differs from Sacco and Nakhaie's conclusion that nonelderly religious persons are more likely to fear crime [13], and Mohammed, Saridakis, and Sookram's finding that persons with a religious affiliation were more likely than those without an affiliation to be fearful of crime [15]. Like O'Mahony and Quinn, the current study did not associate religious affiliation with fear of crime [12].…”

“…This oversight in the literature is curious, given that religious affiliation ties persons to social networks offering resources that can be used to respond to threats to well-being such as crime. Additionally, and perhaps most crucially, religious affiliation has been found to build generalized trust (trust in others unknown to us) in participants [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. This form of trust has been characterized as -the foundation of a civil society… (that) eases the way toward getting people to work together‖ [19].…”

Does Religious Involvement Generate or Inhibit Fear of Crime?

Abstract:In victimology, fear of crime is understood as an emotional response to the perceived threat of crime. Fear of crime has been found to be affected by several variables besides local crime rates and personal experiences with victimization. This study examines the relationship between religion and fear of crime, an underexplored topic in the criminological literature. This gap is rather surprising given the central role religion has been found to play in shaping the attitudes and perceptions of congregants. In particular, religion has been found to foster generalized trust, which should engender lower levels of distrust or misanthropy, including that which is directed towards a general fear of crime. OLS regression was performed using data from the West Georgia Area Survey (n = 380). Controlling for demographic, community involvement, and political ideology variables, frequency of religious attendance was significantly and negatively associated with fear of property crime. This relationship remained even after a perceived neighborhood safety variable was introduced to the model. However, religious attendance was not significantly related to fear of violent crime, and religious orientation was unrelated to fear of property and violent crime. These results suggest that religious involvement conditionally reduces fear of crime, and the authors recommend that future research explore relationships between religion and fear of crime.

“…No islã matam e obrigam mulheres em submissão não condizentes aos valores de igualdade (GASPARD, 2007).

“…La sécularisation est toujours fortement discutée (p. ex. Ammerman, 2005 ;Hout et Greeley, 1987Olson, 2008 ;Presser et Chaves, 2007 ;Stark et Finke, 2000 ;Stark et al, 2002 ;Thumma et Travis, 2007 ;Wuthnow, 2007). Berger (1999 : 2), révoquant sa prédiction de 1968 que, dans peu de temps, les croyants religieux se retrouveraient probablement dans de petites sectes seulement, serrés ensemble pour résister à une culture moderne mondiale, croit maintenant que « the assumption that we live in a secularized world is false » (la supposition que nous vivons dans un monde sécularisé est fausse).…”
