N2  - In this paper, factor analysis and regression models are used to examine fear of crime and to determine the relationship between fear and age. Data from the British Crime Survey demonstrate that fear is reducible to only two crime contexts: fear of personal loss (FoPL) and fear of personal harm (FoPH). Distinctively different inverted u-shaped relationships were observed for both FoPL and FoPH, with maximum fear at 45 years of age and 23 years of age, respectively. Generic correlates with both FoPH and FoPL included perceived health, neighbourhood litter and previous victimization. FoPH-specific correlates were household income, environmental graffiti and property damage. The only FoPL-specific correlate was living in a run-down area.<p />
