Men\u27s Gender Socialization and Masculinity Effect on Men\u27s Expressed Fear of Crime

The purpose of this study was to investigate if men\u27s gender socialization and conformity to masculinity predict their expression of fear of crime. Through multiple measures, this study investigated men\u27s gender role conflict, conformity to masculinity, and fear of victimization to determine if these factors are related to men\u27s expression or lack thereof of crime. It hypothesized that race, age, higher conformity to masculine norms, and less gender role conflict relate to less expressed fear of crime. Forward Stepwise statistical analysis provided support for race and restrictive emotionality relating to expressed fear of crime
