Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: A comparative study is designed to test four different conceptual models—the victimization model, the disorder model, the community context model, and the community control model in two distinct cultural contexts, the U.S. and South Korea—for directional accuracy and ability to explain fear of crime. The community-context approach is extended to consider city conditions, in addition to community environments, as macro-level predictors. The research focus of the community control approach is reformulated as a structural model to investigate the mediating role of citizen satisfaction with police on the effect of citizen perceptions of community-policing activities on fear of crime. To answer research questions in both cultural contexts, this study combines census and crime statistics with survey data of 13,260 citizens nested in 12 U.S. cities and those of 600 citizens nested in 25 communities in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. Several sets of Hierarchical Linear and Nonlinear Models reveal whether city conditions in the U.S. and community conditions in South Korea are significant predictors of citizens’ fear of crime. The results will also show if citizen perceptions of community policing endeavors are linked to fear reduction when satisfaction with police is included as a mediator in both contexts. Culturally different dimensions of fear of crime are discussed.
