Personal security is a core element for the well-being of individuals and of society as a whole, and the experience of crime is one of the main factors shaping people‟s personal security. Crime may lead to loss of life and property, as well as engendering physical pain, post-traumatic stress and anxiety. It may also cause impairments in occupational activities (e.g. lower productivity and higher absenteeism) and disruption in social functioning (e.g. restriction in freedom of movement and erosion of social cohesion within communities). The biggest impact of crime on people‟s well-being appears to be through the feeling of vulnerability that it causes (Anand and Santos, 2006).
