Abstract
En este trabajo analizamos cuál es la percepción de la población centroamericana sobre el tipo de violencia más frecuente y las variables psicosociales asociadas. Se utilizó la base de datos del Latinobarómetro (2023) que cuenta con participantes de Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Panamá. La muestra consistió en 3964 personas. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y una regresión logística binomial. Se encontró que la violencia en las calles se percibe como el tipo de violencia más frecuente y que las personas que más se preocupan por los delitos, quienes se consideran de clase social más baja y quienes menos toleran la desigualdad son quiénes tienen más probabilidad de señalar este tipo de violencia.
In this paper, we analyze the perception of the Central American population regarding the most frequent type of violence and the associated psychosocial variables. We used the Latinobarómetro (2023) database, which includes participants from Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama. The sample consisted of 3964 individuals. Descriptive analyses and a binomial logistic regression were conducted. It was found that street violence is perceived as the most frequent type of violence and that people who are more concerned about crime, those who consider themselves to be of a lower social class, and those who are less tolerant of inequality are more likely to identify this type of violence.
