The dimension of individual factors included gender, education, and direct and indirect experiences of victimization. On the other hand, the dimension of community factors contained community integration, deviant sub-cultural symbols, monitoring systems, and community equipments. The purposes of the research were: (1) to describe the level of individual fear crime; (2) to find out effects of individual factors on fear crime; (3) to recognize influences of community factors on fear crime. The results of the study indicated that gender, direct and indirect experiences of victimization, community integration, deviant sub-cultural symbols, and monitoring system played an important role in the explanation of fear crime. However, individual education and community equipment were not related to fear crime. According to the findings, the study also mentioned some suggestions to researchers in the future study.
