Freedom from Fear is a new magazine of applied research on crime prevention from the Max Planck Institute and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Research Institute (UNICRI). (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)
The inaugural issue is now online, awkwardly. Clicking the link doesn't display the PDF or even download the PDF. It downloads a zip file which unzips into a PDF. (Why?)
It appears to be OA. The inaugural issue is gratis OA. But it doesn't say that it's free or OA. Nor does it mention subscription prices. I downloaded and unzipped the inaugural issue and couldn't find any licensing information.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
