«Rosén writes about how women with different identities assess the risk of sexual violence in the public sphere. By keeping a close eye on her qualitative data, [she] writes about [her] own understanding of the problem and thus delivers [a chapter] that extends beyond the city as a study object: (...) From Rosén [we learn] that not only gender but also sexuality and ethnicity can affect how women consider urban space as safe or unsafe. [The author's contribution] is thus exemplary in that [it] allows empirics to enter the analysis, allowing it to control its themes and interests and thus opens up urban research for - precisely - learning from urban societies»
