Innebörden av ordet otrygghet har förändrats betydligt i Sverige. När det amerikanska forskningsfältet "Fear of Crime" introducerades i Sverige under 1980-talet översattes det till "otrygghet". Från att ha tidigare använts för att beskriva materiell ojämnhet och bristande förutsägbarhet, kom "otrygghet" nu att associeras till brott och våld. Hanna Sahlin Liljas avhandling beskriver trygghetsforskn
