“…Yet there is evidence that a physical disability increases the likelihood of being a victim of crime (for example, Rosen, 2006). One of the few studies examining this issue found that having a physical disability was a significant predictor of fear of crime among young adults in the US (Stiles et al, 2003).…”

This paper aims to take a holistic approach to studying fear of crime by testing predictors at multiple levels of analyses. Data from the European Social Survey (N = 56,752 from 29 countries) were used to test and extend the Income Inequality and Sense of Vulnerability Hypotheses. The findings confirm that (1) individuals in societies with greater income inequalities are more fearful of crime, and (2) older or disabled people as well as women report greater fear of crime. Contrary to the hypotheses, ethnic majority and not ethnic minority members report greater fear of crime, if they reside in high income inequality countries. It is further demonstrated that fear of crime explains the inverse association between income inequality and subjective well-being in this particular subsample.

“…As noted by Rosen [42], people of African descent are often comfortable using services and strategies that are in line with their belief systems, namely those underpinned by the philosophy of Ubuntu. The services put at the center the elements of reconciliation, restoration and harmony [4], and thus discourage any vengeful behavior by the victim's relatives, prevent future occurrence of the abusive behavior and facilitate the victim's healing.…”

This paper reports on significant findings from an ongoing study on the care and support services for sexually abused individuals with intellectual disability in South Africa. Only one aspect of the study is presented here, namely the professionals' views regarding responses to situations of sexual abuse involving a group in question. So far, data presented in this study were obtained by means of interviews conducted individually and in groups, with participants recruited from the police services and schools that cater particularly for learners with intellectual disability. Findings revealed that sexual abuse among teenagers with intellectual disability is widespread. The responses are discussed under three broad areas, namely: protocols, reporting and preventive efforts. The findings will be available for use in maximizing care and support services for sexually abused people with intellectual disability in South Africa.

“…Rosen (2006) recently reviewed the literature on violence against females with disability and concluded that they experience a 50% greater risk for assault compared to non-disabled men and women. Research also suggests that disabled individuals are at even greater risk if they reside in institutional settings (Sobsey 1994; Jacobson and Richardson 1987).…”

racial/ethnic variation in the relationship between physical limitation and fear of crime: an examination of mediating and moderating factors

This study has four objectives. First, we confirm the previously observed association between physical limitations and fear of crime. Second, we assess the role of age in this relationship. Third, we identify factors that mediate this relationship. Fourth, we assess whether this relationship is observed across racial/ethnic groups. Adjusting for perceptions of personal control and disability-related stigma reduces the magnitude of this relationship to non-significance for black and white respondents, but not for Hispanics. Also, we find that age is inversely related to fear of crime for blacks and whites.
