Abstract
This study explores the potential protective effect of religious coping mechanisms on fear of crime. Using self-report measures, we examined the relationship between religious coping styles and fear of crime in a sample of 100 participants. The Brief Religious Coping Scale assessed participants' religious coping strategies, while the Fear of Crime Scale measured their anxieties related to criminal victimization. This pilot study aimed to identify whether specific religious coping approaches are associated with lower fear of crime, potentially informing future research on the psychological benefits of religion in managing anxieties about personal safety. Fear of Crime: This survey is interested in how safe you feel in your community. Fear of crime refers to the worry or anxiety you experience about being the victim of a crime, such as theft, assault, or violence. Religious Coping: This survey also explores how your religious beliefs and practices might influence your feelings about safety. Religious coping refers to the ways you turn to your faith to manage stress or difficult situations. Here are some examples: ? Seeking Strength from God: This involves praying for safety or guidance when feeling unsafe. ? Finding Comfort in Religious Beliefs: This includes drawing peace from religious teachings that promote a sense of security and protection. ? Seeking Support from Religious Community: This involves reaching out to religious leaders or fellow believers for comfort or advice when feeling anxious.
