Does heightened fear of crime lead to poorer mental health in new suburbs, or vice versa?
文摘

Few studies test the causal relationship between fear of crime and mental health.

Does fear of crime lead to poorer mental health, or could the reverse apply?

Longitudinal models provide support for a bi-directional relationship.

Temporal models show earlier mental health impacts on subsequent fear of crime.

The relationship appears to be direct, and rather than via avoidance behaviours.
