This study has been conducted with the quantitative standardized data method. The data collection consisted of young adults in Helsingborg between the ages of 18 to 20. The outcome of the study showed that young adults' level of exposure to crime had a significant impact on their attitude toward the subject. Family members’ engagement in the subject had little to no effect on the cohort, while friends' engagement had a bigger impact on the attitude. On the subject of gender, the study showed that there was no difference between men and female as both genders had a strict attitude towards crime. (Less)
