 I'd be glad to join the discussion but not I am not sure what the questions
are.  Fear of Crime?  Crime itself?  Social factors (broadly construed) that
affect the relationship between the two?  What real problems?  Racism, sexism,
economic oppression?  Flat economic prospects for the future?  Brutal in a
critical, Marxist, or feminist sense?  There's one hell of a lot of issues
packed into that last sentence.
