“…Through a survey on fear of crime among residents in housing areas with gated and non-gated residences in Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor and Precinct 9B, Putrajaya, Abdullah et al (2012) observed that respondents inhabiting a gated residential area exhibited a greater fear of crime than those in a non-gated residential area. From a different angle, Sakip et al (2016) examined the sense of safety and fear of crime among residents living in a neighbourhood with no fences in Malaysia. They found that the more people go out at night and longer a resident lived in a residential area were significant with respect to perceptions of crime in the neighbourhood.…”

“…In addition, the Roadmap of Government Transformation Program 2010 indicated that the sense of fear of crime among Malaysians is as high as 89% (Sakip et al, 2016). This suggests that fear of crime is a critical area for academic research and policy debate that has consequences beyond a "deep-seated sense of personal anxiety" (Hale, 1996).…”

“…Despite that, empirical evidence on people's feeling of safety and types of safety mechanisms used has rarely surfaced in the literature. The few studies that have considered these feelings in Malaysia (e.g., Mohit & Hannan, 2012;Sakip et al, 2016), Turkey (Jahic & Mitrani, 2010), the US (Roman & Ghalfin, 2008) and Canada (Rollwagen, 2016) have largely focused on urban areas. Moreover, unlike urban areas, rural areas are less densely populated, greater informal social control in rural areas could lead to the increase the fear of crime among people living in the community.…”

Objective - This study investigates the nature of community safety in a rural housing area. The types of home safety control mechanisms were also investigated. Methodology/Technique - Face-to-face interviews were conducted on a randomly selected sample of 87 residents in a rural area located in the Northern region of Malaysia. Findings - Results show that the feeling of safety is quite high. Females are found to be more fearful than men. The study also found that more than half of the residents used special window/door grills for home safety control. As expected, the level of feeling very unsafe living at home alone after dark was double when their home was not protected by special windows or door grills. Novelty - The results of this study are important and provide the police with information on how they can get involved to help improve community safety. Future studies should investigate the type of crimes and experiences of crime victimization using the International Crime Victim Survey (ICVS). Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Community Safety; Fear of Crime; Feeling of Safety; Malaysia; Interview JEL Classification: H55, H83, O18.

Malaysia is one of the countries that is having rapid urbanization and the crime rates are getting worried by the Malaysian government. Thus, this paper objective is to identify the street pattern characteristics that influence the snatch theft activities. The character of the street pattern is identified by using the GIS to construct, determine andanalysethe area with high reported snatch theft cases. The result shows the area with the high number of snatch incidents is becoming a snatch theft hotspot area and the fragmented parallel type of street pattern influenced the snatch activities. eISSN: 2398-4287 © 2018.
