Description
  • This paper describes recent developments in fear of crime as surveyed in the Czech Republic. The dynamics of fear and concern are on the rise, although the standard measure of fear has reached quickly a stabilized and average level, when compared to the rest of Europe. However, there is a new subject of concern, maybe even a new scapegoat for the public's worries- corruption. This text examines the processes of fear differentiation with respect to both victimization and local conditions. It confirms an emerging realism of fear attitudes. Consequently, it demonstrates an extreme rise in concern about corruption and instances of bribery in everyday practices as well. Although the transition to democracy in the Czech Republic after 1989 offered a picture of a %22tolerant%22 society, accepting the necessary social costs of change, the simple conclusion about %22risk normalization%22 is not quite valid when it comes to corruption: the concern for corruption extends beyond the public's opinions, as Czech citizens exhibit high involvement in bribery in everyday life. According to the data collected, one third of adult population is involved and the %22insiders%22 are more tolerant. The situation in most post-communist countries is evaluated as still worse especially if compared with Scandinavian countries. The paper address the need for a more detailed study of both attitudes and practices, because this increase in concern reflects a serious risk with respect to people's trust in the system and its key institutions.
