Özet:

 


Fear of crime is implicated as an
urban stressor that has negative consequences on health outcomes, yet few
studies have explored the direction of the relationship between fear of crime
and health, or tested the mediational effects on this relationship. The purpose
of this study is to examine the mediating role of social control on the
relationship between fear of crime and self-rated health. A sample of 247
residents in Penang, Malaysia was analysed using structural equation modelling.
The results demonstrated the significant direct relationship of fear of crime
and social control in explaining self-rated health. However, social control
does not mediate this relationship, implying that the pathway connecting fear
of crime and health appears to be direct, rather than via social control.
Although fear of crime is associated with poor health, social control helps to
enhance health and well-being. This study is concluded by highlighting the ways
in which these social factors help improve health and well-being within
residential contexts.
