Abstract

In her seminal study of the judgment of criminality and the need for security in Germany the author is able to sweep aside many prejudices, in particular those that see a relationship between gender and the fear of becoming a victim of a crime. She critically examines gender-typifying data collection and proposes a typology of security mentalities. This new instrument for analysis can help us to understand mental states in relation to the fear of criminality.
