Abstract

This study aimed to explore the determinants of punitiveness and crime prevention behavior. Building on previous research, it was hypothesized that these variables are related with desire forself-determination and self-determination of community, as well as fear of crime and riskperception of crime. Questionnaires were administered to 332 Japanese residents through aweb-based survey company. The results revealed that punitiveness and crime prevention behaviorwere both correlated with fear of crime, risk perception of crime, and desire for self-determination. Thus, the findings generally supported the hypotheses and suggested that the dependent variablesmay share a common root. Future research directions and limitations have been discussed.
