摘要

Although the overall crime rate in the U.S. has declined over the last seven years, concern about crime has risen (National Crime Prevention Council 2001). Crime affects more than its direct victims, causing individuals to employ a variety of strategies to protect themselves such as restricting their spatial and temporal range and barricading themselves within their homes. Concern about crime is also manifested in architectural forms such as security grilles on windows and gated communities. Some of these architectural measures may serve to block out more than criminals. They may isolate individuals and inhibit public use of space. This research focuses on physical crime prevention measures at the residential level-both at the scale of the individual residence and that of the residential street-and examines whether specific security measures actually affect perceptions of safety and incidentally whether they affect other perceptions such as attractiveness and status. This study assumed that more obvious crime prevention measures may indicate an elevated crime rate. It was also assumed that crime prevention measures might affect other types of perceptions. This research builds upon previous studies in which elements of the built environment were found to affect perceptions. Appleyard and Craik (1980) found that window grilles, ostensibly used to prevent crime, were accurately judged by observers to predict residents' concern about crime. In some studies, symbolic or visually permeable barriers correlated with lower vulnerability ratings by burglars, whereas opaque barrier were associated with higher vulnerability. Researchers (Brown 1985 and Cromwell, Olson, and Avary 1983) point out that this is because although barriers such as solid wooden fences provide more of an obstacle to intruders, they also provide opportunities for concealment.
