Journals Social Problems Volume 50 Issue 3

Recent work in the area of media and fear of crime suggest that both program content and audience traits are important factors in predicting fear of crime. Working from these premises, this article explores the relationship between watching television and fear of crime among twelve different audience sub-samples and six program types. Additionally, we examine whether respondents' perception of the racial composition of their neighborhood provides a mediating context for the television/fear relationship. Using a random telephone survey of 1,490 adults in Leon County, Florida, we find that program content and audience traits influence the television/fear relationship. More importantly, these findings demonstrate that perceived racial composition of neighborhood is a crucial dimension in structuring the TV/fear relationship, with television effects for several different program types located primarily among individuals who perceive they live in a neighborhood with high percentages of blacks. Results are discussed in terms of "social threat."
