Abstract

The present study aims to investigate the mediating effects of the police effectiveness on the theoretical relationship between social disorder and fear of crime. We test hypotheses derived from Wilson and Kelling's (1982) Broken Windows Theory and Skogan's (2009) Accountability and Reassurance Models.
