This article uses the 2004 General Social Survey on criminal victimization to explore how men and women of the core working age population (25 to 54 years) living in Census Metropolitan Areas differ in the precautions taken to avoid victimization.

This difference remains unchanged even when other factors like fear of crime, income, age, and victimization experiences are taken into account.
