| Summary: |
This study is part of the initial efforts to explore the relationship between citizens’ security expectations and the op-erational management of the Ecuadorian police. The article analyses how the con-cern for becoming a victim of a crime is not always linked to the improvements and efforts to control the objective crime. Through a survey carried out in the district Las Casas 1 of Quito, we examine the rela-tionship between the concern for becoming a victim of a crime and demographic, so-cial, environmental and policing variables. In addition, we identify the hotspots of fear of crime and their situational elements through composed cognitive maps. We discuss the manner in which this new instrument could motivate the interest of the police in dealing with the perceived crime. |
