| Research Abstract |
1. Relationship between dangerous places and anxiety places through elementary-age children's eyes was clarified. Children's anxieties have a great bearing on their experience of crime and tangible place situation. Primary, deference of children's anxieties to some places owes to the deference of sex. Secondary, it owes to deference of existence or nonexistence of anti crime training. Especially, the training enhances the girl's ability of consciousness to dangerous places.
