Low crime, low fear (Ideal)

Those areas where fear of crime and crime is low are the ideal which all other areas need to work towards. Awareness of crime issues is healthy as it ensures that people continue to take common sense precautions and do not become complacent.

An example of this type of area could be a remote rural area where the community is small and has a very high social capital (look at the section on social capital or the glossary for a definition).
