Abstract: Fear of Crime (FoC) has social and economic consequences and can impact both physical and mental health. Consequently, strategies to reduce FoC are imperative to national and local policy makers. We use the stated preference method choice experiments to elicit preferences for multiple FoC mitigation attributes in a nightlife setting among adolescents and their parents in 10 Danish cities. We find the strongest FoC mitigation preferences for higher number of friends accompanying the adolescent and the atmosphere in the nightlife, followed by police, limiting the number of strangers and the presence of volunteers. Significant differences in preferences between adolescents and their parents are evident.
