Social Cohesion and Pro-social Responses to Negative Perceptions of Crime

This project builds on recent research by the research team (Jackson and Gray 2010; Lee et al 2017; Wickes et al. 2013; Wickes et al 2016). The overarching aims of this research are to identify the key causes of worry and/or fear for residents that are within the remit of local communities to change and to develop practical tools designed to promote targeted, pro-social responses in communities to reduce fear of crime.
