Abstract: Ispitivanje faktora koji mogu objasniti nivo straha od kriminala ima višedecinijsku tradiciju u kriminologiji. Istraživači su razmatrali kako individualne, tako i sredinske prediktore razlika u nivoima izraženog straha kriminala kod građana. Usmeravajući pažnju na uslove u susedstvu i njegove karakteristike, formulisana je teza o urbanom neredu prema kojoj znaci fizičke i društvene zapuštenosti i degradacije prostora predstavljaju signale građanima da taj prostor nije bezbedan. Generalni cilj rada jeste pružanje sistematičanog prikaza postojećeg korpusa znanja o povezanosti urbanog nereda i straha od kriminala. Ovaj postupak podrazumeva analizu dosadašnjih teorijskih promišljanja, kao i predstavljanje i sintezu ključnih nalaza iz relevantnih empirijskih studija o potencijalnim korelacijama između ova dva fenomena. U radu je dat prikaz konceptualnih i operacionalnih određenja straha od kriminala i urbanog nereda, kao i osnovnih teorijskih stanovišta kojima se objašnjava odnos dva fenomena. Osim toga, učinjen je kritički osvrt na iskustvenu praksu i neke od osnovnih izazova i problema istraživanja veza između straha od kriminala i urbanog nereda. Investigating factors that can explain the levels of fear of crime has a decades-long tradition in criminology. The researchers considered both individual and environmental predictors of differences in the levels of expressed fear of crime among citizens. Focusing attention on the conditions in the neighborhood and its characteristics, a thesis on urban disorder was formulated according to which signs of physical and social neglect and degradation of space represent signals to citizens that that space is not safe. The general goal of the paper is to provide a systematic review of the existing body of knowledge on the connection between urban disorder and fear of crime. This procedure involves the analysis of previous theoretical reflections, as well as the presentation and synthesis of key findings from relevant empirical studies on potential correlations between these two phenomena. The paper presents the conceptual and operational definitions of fear of crime and urban disorder, as well as the basic theoretical viewpoints that explain the relationship. In addition, a critical review of empirical practice and some of the basic challenges and problems of researching the links between fear of crime and urban disorder is outlined.
