abstract="We distributed questionnaire booklets to households in Tsukuba city, Japan. The questionnaire included questions regarding attitudes toward local crime prevention activities, perception about public safety and crime related anxiety, and sociodemographic variables. The result showed that elder people have much stronger attitude toward community crime prevention compared to younger people. The result also showed that people who have more emergent sense of crisis about their community tend to have an attitude that community crime prevention is their own issue, and people who have inconsistent fear of crime tend to have an aloof attitude toward community crime prevention activities.<p />",
