Abstract

The development of new technologies in recent years has encouraged the deployment of systems aimed at mapping fear of crime. However, this new practice is not attended by methodological work aimed at the evaluation of the ability of tools for measurement to effectively translate a social experience into a quantifiable event. On the basis of the results of the survey entitled “Fear of Crime in Ile-de France public transportation” and on the feedback of respondents interviewed as part of an additional survey, the present study shows that the instruments aimed at locating, geographically, experiences of fear of crime encounter two major difficulties. The first pertains to the diversity of emotions felt and of the situations encountered. The second is tied to recall of past experiences. The discussion which concludes the paper proposes some methodological orientations for the future.
