The crimes and different

forms of violence

considered have a large

impact on the perception

of security, and on the

everyday life of the

population. However,

different impacts can be

observed for each region.

The situation regarding to

killings appears to have a

greater weight in Central

America, while the impact

of robbery is remarkable

in the case of South

America. Road traffic

deaths have a similar

effect in both regions.

The data issue, its existence and its quality is key to both the design of security policies and for the analysis.

However, the situation regarding data sources in most of the countries of the region is highly precarious. Among

the most pressing problems are the confusion in the registry, the technical weaknesses of the

categoriza-tion of criminal acts, the absence of series, the lack of complex analysis of what the statistics say, and the

slowness of the oﬃ

cial sources for the update. With the exception of some countries - including several

in Central America - the crime statistics are presented one or two years after the year of registration. In

some cases the date is grudgingly given on the disaggregation of the types of crime, particularly when

it refers to oﬀ enses against property. Far from being a purely technical matt er, a democracy of quality

needs to register and publicize each case in which the lives of the citizens are aﬀ ected by insecurity, and

formulate policies according to them.
