The Fear of Rape: A Study in Social Control.
Riger, Stephanie; Gordon, Margaret T.
Journal of Social Issues, v37 n4 p71-92 Fall 1981
A survey in three United States cities indicates that fear of rape is greatest among women who are elderly, belong to ethnic minorities, or have low incomes. Certain psychosocial and environmental factors are associated with high fear levels among women. Fear, in turn, determines the use of certain types of safety strategies. (Author/MJL)
