Crime, fear of crime, environment, and mental health and wellbeing: Mapping review of theories and causal pathways

► We explore links between crime, fear of crime, environment and health and wellbeing. ► Fear of crime may mediate some impacts of environmental factors on wellbeing. ► The environmental determinants and population-level impacts of crime are less clear. ► Theory-informed reviews of pathways can be valuable in synthesising complex evidence.
