abstract = {This research assesses safety perceptions and maps unsafe places and
victimization experiences of both women and men university students in public
spaces throughout Granada city, Spain. Survey data from 383 participants were
analyzed, with 413 unsafe places mapped. Statistically, significant gender
disparities were found, with women reporting greater insecurity, particularly at
night, and experiencing higher frequencies of victimization, notably sexual
violence. Spatially, the innovative Perceived Insecurity Points Score (PIPS)
emphasize findings by integrating environmental factors (EF), social factors (SF)
and victimization experiences (V), offering a comprehensive assessment of how
these factors overlap and influence individuals' experiences. Men identified
significantly fewer unsafe locations than women, with only a third
acknowledging their existence. Meanwhile, women reported a higher frequency
of victimization incidents, particularly involving sexual harassment. The work
captures what is often overlooked in official statistics: broader forms of unwanted
behavior pose a significant threat to women, extending the shadow of the
“hypothesis of the “hypothesis of sexual assault”.},
