Cultivation theory proposed that fear of crime is caused by heavy exposure to mass media. Presented study explores related hypothesis that fear of crime is product of media consumption. To test this and competing hypothesis, we analysed the results of European social survey data Round 5. The results indicate small additional value of media consumption variables to the increased fear of crime.

The focus of the present analysis is on the perceived security of citizens from the different European countries. We examined the association between the subjective perceived security and the objective indicators of criminality in different European countries. The subjective perceived security was investigated in three domains – the perceived fear of dark abandoned places, the fear of being a victim of crime of violence, the fear of burglary into own apartment or house. Our results indicate that there isn’t any association between the level of criminality in the country and the perceived security of their citizens. The citizens from Scandinavian countries perceived the highest level of security in comparison with other European citizens, but on the other hand their countries are not the most secure according to objective indicators of criminality. The lowest levels of security are perceived mostly in south-eastern parts of Europe. Our findings are very interesting and need further investigations.

The studies from recent years focused on perceived safety repeatedly showed, that women are more afraid. In our study we analysed the data from European Social Survey. In our analysis we chose only women and specifically two groups – mothers living with partner and living without partner. The comparisons showed that in general mothers living with partner are less worried than mothers living without partner. We examined the differences between these two groups in different European countries. Regression analysis showed that the strongest predictor of perceived safety and fear of crime in women is the experience of personal victimization.
