Abstract:
|
Fear of crime has been the focus of much research. While the impact of the various forms of media on fear of crime has been examined, one media predictor that has been neglected in current research is Internet usage. More specifically, does the amount of time one spends on the Internet increase or decrease respondent fear of both traditional and cyber/computer crime ? Using survey data collected at a southwestern university, this paper will examine the impact of Internet usage on fear of crime among a sample of college students. The results will not only inform the expanse of knowledge on fear of crime, but will also inform the growing body of cybersociological literature regarding Internet usage and its effects. |
