Crime as part of life’s negative experiences and meaning in life as part of the personal
positive attributes can be related to constructs of well-being including affect, life satisfaction
and subjective happiness. Semi-structured interviews assessing experience of crime, meaning
in life, negative affect associated with crime, life satisfaction and subjective happiness were
conducted with 240 residents from 3 urban residential areas in Penang Island, Malaysia. The
three urban residential areas represented low, medium and high-cost categories. We argue
that people in these different residential areas might have different experiences associated
with crime. The study found some significant relationships between the constructs and
evidences for specific experiences among people living in different residential areas. These
findings highlight the need to understand the complex relationships between experience of
crime, meaning in life and well-being among people living in different residential areas. |
