Based on a nationwide random sample survey, the relationship among fear of crime, fear of the police, support for the police, and support for civil liberties is examined. It is found, contrary to expectations, that fear of crime is only weakly related to either support for the police or protection from them. Fear of the police, however, is strongly related to both.
