Resumo: The high crime rates that Brazil presents generate countless impacts on society. Among these impacts there are the fear of being a victim of crime and the individuals’ behavioral changes. In this sense, this study aims to assess how the fear of crime affects the consumption of individuals' leisure activities, such as going to cinemas, shopping malls, parks, sporting events, fairs, bars, restaurants and concerts. To this goal, this study uses data from the National Victimization Survey of 2012 to estimate a bivariate recursive probit, a model capable of dealing with potential endogeneity problems. The results indicate that fear reduces the probability of leisure consumption in most of the investigated activities, with emphasis on sporting events, however, an increase was observed in the consumption of activities that offer more safety for clients, such as fairs and shopping malls. The study concludes that crime brings losses of well-being that go beyond the economic losses customarily accounted for in studies of crime costs, because it cannot be ignored that fear of crime is capable of reducing the individuals’ freedom and, consequently, to bring non-observed losses to economic activities.

Entre esses impactos estão o medo de ser vítima do crime e as mudanças de comportamento dos indivíduos. Neste sentido, este estudo tem o objetivo de avaliar como o medo do crime afeta o consumo de atividades de lazer dos indivíduos, tais como ir a cinemas, shoppings, parques, eventos esportivos, feiras, bares, restaurantes e shows. Para este fim, este estudo utiliza os dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Vitimização do ano de 2012 para estimar um Probit bivariado recursivo, um modelo capaz de lidar com potenciais problemas de endogeneidade. Os resultados indicam que o medo reduz a probabilidade do consumo de lazer na maioria das atividades investigadas, com destaque para eventos esportivos, contudo, foi observado um aumento no consumo de atividades que oferecem mais segurança para os clientes, tais como feiras e shopping centers. O estudo conclui que a criminalidade traz perdas de bem-estar que vão além das perdas econômicas costumeiramente contabilizadas em estudos de custos do crime, pois, não se pode ignorar que o medo do crime é capaz de reduzir a liberdade dos indivíduos e, consequentemente, de trazer perdas até então não observadas para as atividades econômicas.Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública2021-03-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.documenttext/xmltext/htmlhttps://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/117910.31060/rbsp.2021.v15.n1.1179Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública; v. 15 n. 1 (2021): Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública 28; 156-173Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública; Vol. 15 No. 1 (2021): Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública 28; 156-1732595-02581981-1659reponame:Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública (Online)instname:Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública (FBSP)instacron:FBSP-1porhttps://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/1179/389https://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/1179/409https://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/1179/477https://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/article/view/1179/478Copyright (c) 2021 Revista Brasileira de Segurança Públicahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOliveira, Cristiano Aguiar deMendes Silva, Daniele 2021-11-10T22:52:10Zoai:ojs.revista.forumseguranca.org.br:article/1179Revistahttps://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/indexONGhttps://revista.forumseguranca.org.br/index.php/rbsp/oairevista@forumseguranca.org.br || suporte+rbsp@openjournalsolutions.com.br2595-02581981-1659opendoar:2021-11-10T22:52:10Revista Brasileira de Segurança Pública (Online) - Fórum Brasileiro de Segurança Pública (FBSP)false
