“…In sum, most studies to date focus only on the role that delinquency plays in damaging health rather than how poor health and access to health care may influence delinquency (Robinson & Keithley, 2000). While not disputing that delinquency may harm health, our research offers a new approach and suggests that delinquency may result from poor health.…”

“…Relatedly, authors rely on different indices and definitions to derive cost estimates, making comparisons difficult. Second, if costs are based on reported incidents, these values will be underestimates because of the low reporting rates of such crimes as sexual assault and domestic violence (e.g., Corso, Mercy, Simon, Finkelstein, & Miller, 2007; Robinson & Keithley, 2000), which are nonetheless prevalent and costly. A third issue affecting the utility of available figures is the timeliness of publications.…”

The authors review the extant literature examining the functional impact of crime victimization on indices of quality of life. They present findings within a conceptual framework comprised of role functioning, life satisfaction, and well-being, and social-material conditions, including crimerelated medical, mental health, and employer costs, and health care utilization. The review indicates that crime victimization impacts multiple domains, including parenting skills, impaired occupational functioning, higher rates of unemployment, and problematic intimate relationships. However, data on relationships between crime victimization and overall life satisfaction were mixed, suggesting the need for further investigation. The authors conclude with a brief discussion of directions for future research.

“…Most research on crime and health hitherto has focused on the direct health impacts suffered by victims of crime, particularly violent crime [1-3]. However, the indirect effects of crime and its broader harms on individuals and communities may also have important impacts on wellbeing.…”

Fear of crime and the environment: systematic review of UK qualitative evidence

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

BackgroundThe fear of crime may have negative consequences for health and wellbeing. It is influenced by factors in the physical and social environment. This study aimed to review and synthesize qualitative evidence from the UK on fear of crime and the environment.MethodsEighteen databases were searched, including crime, health and social science databases. Qualitative studies conducted in the UK which presented data on fear of crime and the environment were included. Quality was assessed using Hawker et al.’s framework. Data were synthesized thematically.ResultsA total of 40 studies were included in the review. Several factors in the physical environment are perceived to impact on fear of crime, including visibility and signs of neglect. However, factors in the local social environment appear to be more important as drivers of fear of crime, including social networks and familiarity. Broader social factors appear to be of limited relevance. There is considerable evidence for limitations on physical activity as a result of fear of crime, but less for mental health impacts.ConclusionsFear of crime represents a complex set of responses to the environment. It may play a role in mediating environmental impacts on health and wellbeing.
