SUÇ KORKUSU: NEDENLERİ, SONUÇLARI VE GÜVENLİK POLİTİKALARI İKLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Suç korkusu, suçla çok yakından ilgili olmakla birlikte suçtan bağımsız bir olgudur. Suç oranlarının artışına paralel olarak artan suç korkusunun suç oranlarındaki düşüşle birlikte düşmediği pek çok araştırma sonucu elde edilen ortak bir bulgudur. Suç korkusu, suçun önlenebilmesi ve kontrol altına alınabilmesi için en çok ihtiyaç duyulan toplumsal dayanışmayı zedelediği için suçla mücadeleyi zorlaştırıcı bir özelliğe sahiptir. Bu nedenle de, suçla mücadele çalışmaları yanı sıra korkusuyla başa çıkabilmek için özel olarak dizayn edilmiş programların geliştirilmesine ve uygulanmasına büyük bir ihtiyaç vardır. Ancak ülkemizde, konuya ilişin gerek güvenlik birimlerine ve gerekse de güvenlik politikalarına yön veren insanlara rehberlik edebilecek yeterli düzeyde bilimsel veri bulunmamaktadır. Pek çok uluslararası örneği bulunan suç korkusu araştırmalarının Türkiye’de yalnızca birkaç lokal çalışma ile sınırlı kaldığı ve ulusal çapta yapılmış bir örneğinin ise bulunmadığı hemen göze çarpmaktadır. Dolayısıyla bu makale ile bu tür araştırmalarda ele alınması gereken teorik ve pratik konuların neler olduğuna ilişkin bir yol haritası ortaya koyulacak ve ulusal çapta bir suç korkusu araştırması ile elde edilecek faydalar ilgililerin dikkatlerine sunulacaktır.

Keywords

• Suç korkusu, suç mağduriyeti korkusu, güvenlik endişesi, güvenlik algısı, güvenlik politikaları
