| Zusammenfassung: | The relations between victimization and fear of crime are traditionally studied using binary combinations. Research focuses on whether the fact of having suffered a victimization increases the risk of being afraid, without ever considering the variety of profiles of victimization. We propose to contribute to an elucidation of this phenomenon by examining a group of victims of theft and assault using the accumulated data of systematically repeated victimization surveys in France, and classing these individuals according to the type and intensity of the victimization experienced. We will then look at the relationship between fear of crime and these different profiles. The results show the absence of a single, homogeneous correlation, but rather, the existence of a variety of patterns linking these two variables. |
