Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Information on public perceptions of crime, safety, community cohesiveness, and social disorder within rural and small urban centres in the Canadian Province of Ontario was collected as part of a large survey (n=17,172) completed by the Ontario Provincial Police. Factor Analysis and MANOVA procedures revealed that youth crime and disorder issues were rated as a more serious problem by respondents age 29 and younger than by older respondents. Crime/Substance Abuse was seen as a greater problem by middle aged respondents (21-39) than by younger or older respondents. Females, when compared to males, rated all three factors (Youth public disorder, Crime/Substance Abuse, and Abuse/Assault) as more serious problems. Those who felt most unsafe in their community rated Abuse/Assault and Youth disorder as more serious problems than those who felt safe or very safe. Respondents who reporting a high degree of community cohesiveness rated abuse as less serious a problem than those who did not. An interaction between individual safety and community cohesiveness was found for the rating of crime as a problem. For those who felt safe or very safe, ratings of crime as a problem did not differ for the factor community cohesiveness. In contrast, for those who felt unsafe, crime\substance abuse was rated as less of a problem by those reporting the highest degree of cohesiveness. Results are discussed in the context of current theories of individual assessments of the severity of crime and public disorder problems, safety, and community cohesiveness.
