11. Precautions taken to avoid victimization: A gender perspective Archived
Articles and reports: 11-008-X201000111123
Geography: Canada
Description:
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. The results indicate that though men and women do not differ substantially in the amount of crime they perceive around them - they do 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.

It also includes three non-conforming types: local shared roads, major shared roads, and multi-use gravel trails.
