Nothing Bad Happens to Good Girls: Fear of Crime in Women's Lives
Esther Madriz
An analysis of how women in the United States perceive the threat of crime in their everyday lives and how that perception controls their behavior. It shows that race and class position play a role in a woman's sense of vulnerability. It argues that fear itself is a strong element in keeping women in subservient and self-limiting social positions.
