Perceived Incivilities and the Willingness to Intervene: The Mediating Effect of Sense of Community
지역사회무질서에 대한 인지가 범죄 예방을 위한 집합효율성에 미치는 영향 및 공동체 의식의 매개효과에 관한 연구
The current research examines the individual level and streetblock level variables that predict a resident’s perception of the willingness to intervene. Previous studies on collective efficacy have focused on the effect of collective efficacy on neighborhood crime rates and the mediating effect of collective efficacy on the relationship between neighborhood structure and crime rates. The current research extends existing research through an emphasis on predictors which affect the perception of collective efficacy. Using data from 305 residents in 50 streetblocks in Baltimore, Maryland and Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) techniques, the current research examines the relationship between perceived incivilities and the perception of collective efficacy, and the mediating effect of sense of community (e.g., streetblock attachment and commitment). Results indicate that high levels of perceived incivilities at both levels are negatively associated with the perception of the willingness to intervene. Furthermore, the relationship between perceived incivilities and the outcome is mediated by sense of community. The current findings imply that place attachment and commitment play a pivotal role in affecting residents’ perception of collective efficacy.
