| Descripció: | 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. |
