Abstract

Abstract:Previous research in Mexico has argued that perceived corruption and perceived efficacy predict dissatisfaction and lack of confidence in the police. This article extends previous research by examining whether perceived police corruption impacts fear of crime among the adult population. We argue that—beyond traditional correlates of fear of crime and controlling for the intensity of the war on organized crime—evaluations of police reputation impact social quality of life as indicated by fear of crime. Results from multilevel models, based on data from the Mexican National Survey on Victimization and Perception of Public Security (ENVIPE, 2012–2017), confirm our argument. We also find that the experience of victimization and neighborhood incivilities were the main predictors of fear of crime, while the war on organized crime showed no consistent effect.Abstract:Estudios previos en México argumentan que la percepción de corrupción y la percepción de eficacia predicen la insatisfacción y la falta de confianza en la policía. Este artículo extiende estos estudios previos al examinar si la percepción de corrupción policial impacta el miedo al crimen entre la población adulta. Argumentamos que –más allá de los correlativos tradicionales del miedo al crimen y controlando por la intensidad de la guerra contra el crimen organizado– la evaluación de la reputación de la policía impacta la calidad de vida en la sociedad tal como lo indica el miedo al crimen. Los resultados de los modelos multinivel, basados en datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Victimización y Percepción sobre Seguridad Pública (ENVIPE, 2012–2017), confirman nuestro argumento. También hallamos que la experiencia de victimización y las incivilidades en la colonia son los principales predictores del miedo al crimen, mientras que la guerra contra el crimen organizado no mostró tener un efecto consistente.

墨西哥警察腐败与犯罪恐惧
摘要:墨西哥先前的研究认为,感知到的腐败和感知到的效率可以预测对警察的不满和缺乏信心。这篇文章通过检查是否认为警察腐败影响了成年人对犯罪的恐惧来扩展先前的研究。我们认为,除了对犯罪的恐惧和对有组织犯罪战争强度的控制的传统相关性外,对警察声誉的评估会影响犯罪恐惧所表明的社会生活质量。基于墨西哥国家公共安全受害者和感知调查(ENVIPE,2012-2017年)数据的多层模型结果证实了我们的论点。我们还发现,受害者的经历和邻里不文明是对犯罪恐惧的主要预测因素,而关于有组织犯罪的战争没有产生一致的影响。摘要:墨西哥先前的研究认为,对腐败和效率的看法可以预测对警察的不满和缺乏信心。这篇文章通过检查对警察腐败的看法是否会影响成年人对犯罪的恐惧来扩展这些先前的研究。我们认为,正如对犯罪的恐惧所表明的那样,对警察声誉的评估影响到社会生活质量,这超出了对犯罪的恐惧的传统相关性,并受到打击有组织犯罪战争强度的控制。基于国家公共安全受害和感知调查(ENVIPE,2012-2017年)数据的多层次模型的结果证实了我们的论点。我们还发现,殖民地的受害经历和不文明是对犯罪恐惧的主要预测因素,而打击有组织犯罪的战争并没有产生一致的影响。

期刊介绍: The rich cultural production and unique peoples of Mexico--coupled with the country"s complex history, political legacy, social character, economy, and scientific development--lay the foundation for the bilingual Mexican Studies/Estudios Mexicanos, the only U.S. published academic journal of its kind. Journal articles in both English and Spanish are welcomed from a variety of multidisciplinary perspectives and methodologies, comparative analyses notwithstanding. All content published remains focused on the contributions to and knowledge of Mexican studies as a discipline.
