When the American research field "Fear of Crime" was introduced in Sweden in the 1980s, it was translated "otrygghet", a word with a previously established meaning in Swedish. The meaning of the word "otrygghet" has since then changed significantly in Sweden. From being used to signify economic and materialist unpredictability, "otrygghet" has come to be used almost exclusively in a crime context.

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.
