Even though crime has decreased over the past 10 years, it has been found that people have a high fear of crime and that they may become victims of crime. Research on fear of crime is being conducted consistently not only domestically but also abroad. The reason that research on fear of crime is continuously conducted is because the results of numerous studies are different. In particular, although men experience more crime damage than women, women are found to have a higher fear of crime. Accordingly, this study sought to empirically verify the factors influencing men's and women's fear of crime by dividing them into personal factors and environmental factors. To achieve the purpose of this study, secondary data from the National Crime Victimization Survey of the Korea Institute of Criminology and Justice were utilized. As a result of the study, all factors related to the fear of crime felt by men in general situations were found to be statistically significant except for direct crime damage, which is a personal factor, while the factors contributing to fear of crime felt by women in general situations were environmental factors, local ties and informality. It was found to be statistically significant except for the control. And as a result of the specific fear of crime according to crime type, men's results were the same as the general fear of crime, and women's factors, both personal and environmental, were found to be statistically significant. Finally, in the results of overall fear of crime, which combines general and specific fear of crime, direct crime damage, which is a personal factor, was excluded for men, and all personal and environmental factors were found to be statistically significant for women. In other words, it was found that there were differences in factors affecting the fear of crime between men and women. Based on these research results, we would like to make policy recommendations that can reduce men and women's fear of crime.
