Abstract

In Britain as in North America, the effects of crime extend beyond the limited experiences of victims. Yet, policies seeking to allay fear are rarely those expedient to discourage offenders. The debilitating consequences of crime for the quality of inner city life might therefore be alleviated by the initiatives of urban managers other than those formally assigned to crime control and law enforcement.
