 Urban areas (cities in particular) traditionally try to control crime levels and terrorist threats. The economic rationale behind this is that in case the population of urban areas increasingly feel unsafe, they will more and more retreat themselves from public life, causing a negative economic spiral caused by a decrease in public tax income resulting in a decrease in public facilities making cities less and less attractive to live in (causing everybody who can afford it to move outside the cities as what happened in cities like London and Amsterdam in the seventies of the twentieth century). In sum, the economic impact of security threats (crime & terrorism) is mostly negative due to the direct damage to buildings, infrastructure, and population. In addition, crime and terrorism cause negative indirect economic effects that could end up in negative economic spirals as mentioned above.

 Put differently, the economic impact of security threats (crime & terrorism) can be significant and explains why economists and related scholars increasingly analysed the economic impact of crime and terrorism.

-It is important to realise for urban planners that crime and terrorism do not only lead to [[Primary economic impact|direct]] material and immaterial costs (such as loss of property, medical and health case costs, victim support, etc.), but also to costs in response to crime (e.g. police, prosecution, court proceedings) and costs in anticipation of crime (security, insurance)<ref>The costs in anticipation of, as a consequence of, and in response to crime are all [[Primary economic impact|primary economic effects]].</ref>. On top of that, crime and terrorism also generate less tangible costs that are not easy to be identified, but can be of major importance for the local economy (the so called [[Secondary economic impact|secondary economic effects]]). This will be further explained on the specific pages (see above).
