The importance of fear in lesbian and gay experiences of danger and safety associated with violence still remains largely unexamined.  It is now perhaps a trite point, but one worth repeating within the frame of a lesbian and gay politics of violence, that fear of crime is for many more important than direct experiences of criminal acts in the generation of experiences of danger and safety. In this chapter, we begin an exploration of the geography and politics of fear that informs lesbian and gay perceptions of danger and safety.",
