As a concept, the 'fear of crime' has produced considerable academic debate since the 1960s. Attention to the 'fear of crime', 'anxiety about crime' and 'insecurity' in general has found its way into governmental thinking, policy interventions in crime prevention, and popular discourse. Many national, regional and local governments now conduct their own studies into the fear of crime, as do media companies and polling organisations.
