Abstract

Literatürde suç korkusu, toplumda gerçekleşen suçlardan zarar görme korkusu şeklinde ifade edilmektedir.. Bu kavram 1940’lı yıllardan itibaren gerek akademik alanda gerekse politik alanda dikkatleri çekmeye başlamıştır. İlk dönem çalışmaları sınırlı ve temelde bireylerin geceleri, tek başlarına oldukları zaman korku duyup duymadığını anlamaya yönelik olmuştur. Çalışmalarda kadınların, yaşlıların, etnik grupların suç korkusunu en fazla yaşayan gruplar olduğu ifade edilmektedir. Türkiye’de ise suç korkusuna ilişkin çalışmalar Avrupa ülkelerine göre oldukça sınırlıdır. Yapılan çalışmalarda genel olarak kentlerde veya kırsal kesimde yaşayan bireylerin suç korkuları ölçülmüştür. Bu çalışma ise suç korkusunu literatürle bağlantılı olarak incelemekle birlikte, kentin sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel bakımdan1 farklı kesimlerinde yaşayan kadınların suç korkusunu araştırmayı hedeflemiştir. Bu bağlamda da kadınlarda korkuların ortaya çıkmasındaki etkenler, korkuyla baş edebilmek için geliştirilen önleme mekanizmaları, medyanın korku üzerindeki etkisi ve korkunun belirli sosyal gruplarda dışlama yaratıp yaratmayacağına ilişkin bulgular ortaya konulmuştur
