Abstract
This article compares individual characteristics of people residing in different global regions and how they affect a person's perceived risk of victimization. Prior research has extensively explored perceived risk of victimization, but few studies have been able to research the issue cross-nationally. The International Crime Victimization Survey data are used to explore perceived risk of victimization among those who reside in different global regions. This study explores the individual-level characteristics to determine whether this set of variables explains a person's perception of risk while out after dark. Results of the ordered logistic analysis show that gender, age, living in an urban residence, having previously been a victim, and socioeconomic status affect perceived risk but that effects differ by global region.
