Abstract
Why fear in the public sphere? Because fear, crime and fear of crime are challenges that people confront every day. Crime occurrence and its derived phenomena have a wide span and they talk in a global language affecting people all over the world. This critical pragmatic approach crosses theory with practice and aims to explore the relation between physical space and human behavior. The reader is provided with an explorative interpretation of how planning the physical space can become a method of social control and furthermore, how it can deal with crime.
