Hello Xiao,

I found an article that might help, here is the citation.

Title: FEAR OF CRIME IN ELDERLY WOMEN - PERCEPTIONS OF CONTROL, PREDICTABILITY, AND TERRITORIALITY

Author(s): NORMOYLE, J ; LAVRAKAS, PJ

Source: PERSONALITY AND SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY BULLETIN Volume: 10 Issue: 2 Pages: 191-202 DOI: 10.1177/0146167284102004 Published: 1984

Here are two quotes that could be usefull;

"It is this manifestation of percieved controll through percieved territoriality that is associated with lower fear in elderly women."

"Only percieved predictability and percieved territoriality had significant direct affects on fear of crime"

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions please email or come see us again.

In person: Make an appointment with a Research Librarian.
