Although fear of crime is a topic that has received considerable research interest, less attention has been paid to the behavioral consequences of fear. Conducting secondary data analysis on a national survey of Canadian women, this article examines whether women would frequent certain environments more often, that they currently perceive as unsafe, if they felt safer. The article concludes that fear may be limiting women's movement around their environment, and by reducing fear, lifestyle options should increase.
