N2  - This article is based on a study which employs the notion of vulnerability to explore perceptions of safety among people living in poverty. It is suggested that fear of crime' among poor people should not be seen in isolation from other insecurities which they may experience as a result of local, national, and international processes.1 Analysis based on the 1994 British Crime Survey demonstrates strong support for the view that some population groups--either because of their physical inability to defend themselves or social and economic position--may feel less safe than others.<p />
