摘要:This article draws on the contentious concept of the fear of crime and in particular focuses on
two factors which, it is argued, have been afforded insufficient consideration in the „fear of
crime‟ debate, those of gender and age, and uses them to examine a form of „fear‟ that has
also been neglected; that of „altruistic‟ fear. Based on data from a qualitative study with men
and boys the article argues that the concept of a gendered selfhood is fundamental to
understanding how men worry about other people. The traditional conceptualisation of
altruistic fears is thereby contested and suggestions are made for a new conceptualisation of
fears which involve others.
