Guardian Angels: Citizen Response to Crime in Selected Cities of the United States, 1984
This study was designed to assess the effects of the
activities of the Guardian Angels on citizens' fear of crime, incidence
of crime, and police officers' perceptions of the Guardian Angels. The
data, which were collected in several large American cities, provide
information useful for evaluating the activities of the Guardian Angels
from the perspectives of transit riders, residents, merchants, and
police officers. Respondents who were transit riders were asked to
provide information on their knowledge of and contacts with the Angels,
attitudes toward the group, feelings of safety on public transit,
victimization experience, and demographic characteristics. Police
officers were asked about their knowledge of the Angels, attitudes
toward the group, opinions regarding the benefits and effectiveness of
the group, and law enforcement experiences. Data for residents and
merchants include demographic characteristics, general problems in the
neighborhood, opinions regarding crime problems, crime prevention
activities, fear of crime, knowledge of the Angels, attitudes toward
the group, and victimization experiences.
