This blog entry continues with a discussion about perceiving and measuring crime, that in my view is essential to understanding the mapping of crime.

Hopefully to a large extent the above figure, that I have devised as part of my way of understanding and explaining fear of crime, is self-explanatory.

It helps to explain the Reassurance Gap that I have referred to in previous posts and leads me onto dissecting the elements that make-up the fear of crime which I will tackle in later posts.
