Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan korelasi antarvariabel bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara perceived risk dengan fear of crime. Secara keseluruhan, arah hubungan diantara dua variabel tersebut positif, hal ini memiliki arti semakin tingggi perceived risk, maka semakin tinggi fear of crime.
Bila mengacu pada keeratan hubungan yang terjadi diantara kedua variabel tersebut, kategori responden pengemudi kendaraan pribadi yang telah melintas memiliki tingkat keeratan hubungannya yang cukup (r = 0,392 ; Sig = 0,002 ; KD = 15,4%). Ini berbeda dengan ketegori responden pengemudi angkutan barang (r = 0,743 ; Sig = 0,000 ; KD = 55,2%) dan pengemudi kendaraan pribadi (r = 0,702 ; Sig = 0,000 ; KD = 49,3%) yang akan melintas, dimana keeratan hubungan pada dua kategori ini terbilang kuat. Bahkan, untuk kategori pengemudi angkutan barang yang telah melintas keeratan hubungan yang terjadi adalah sangat kuat (r = 0,755 ; Sig = 0,000 ; KD = 57%). Dari empat kategori responden yang dikaji dalam penelitian ini, terdapat tiga kategori responden yang hasil uji korelasi antarvariabel menunjukkan bahwa perceived risk dan fear of crime secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap strategi coping. Hanya kategori responden pengemudi kendaraan pribadi yang telah melintas saja yang tidak signifikan.

Different to goods transport drivers (r = 0.743; Sig = 0.000; KD = 55.2%) and private vehicle drivers (r = 0.702; Sig = 0.000; KD = 49.3%) who will cross, where the relationship between these two categories fairly strong.
