What is the definitions/what does it mean of fear of crime and locus of Control?

Locus of control can be internal or external


Internal: individuals that believe events have occured as the results of actions they have taken.


External: individuals that believe events have occured as the results of other powers such as fate, luck etc.





I don't see how this links to fear of crime, but i can for committingg crime.


Internal: Someone commits an offencese because they have arranged/planned the crime themself E.g Bank robber.


External: offender blames the victim or others for forcing them to commit the crime. E.g they have been threatened, pissed off and so on.





I hope this is clear : )
