The fear-increasing and fear-decreasing effects of a pilot policy to reduce fear of crime

open access: yesPLOS ONE, 2023
Fear of crime has been rising persistently in Chile, even in periods where actual crime rates have decreased, making the perception of crime an important policy issue. This paper presents the results of the impact evaluation of a pilot public policy designed to reduce fear of crime around a shopping centre in Santiago, Chile. The pilot policy consisted

Complex Dynamic Behaviors of a Modified Discrete Leslie–Gower Predator–Prey System with Fear Effect on Prey Species

open access: yesAxioms, 2022
A discrete modified Leslie–Gower prey-predator model considering the effect of fear on prey species is proposed and studied in this paper. First, we discuss the existence of equilibria and the local stability of the model.
