| description | The dramatic increases in crime rates and the perception of insecurity in Mexico has fueled the interest in decoding the relationship between fear and the urban environment. This paper examines different epistemological perspectives to understand more deeply the phenomenon of fear of crime. With a special emphasis on those perspectives that go beyond the rationalist models, we explored issues of representation, speeches, scales and contexts, aiming to explore local narratives, cultural representations and different levels of symbolic meaning that contribute to the spatial construction of fear. |

Miedo territorio crimen control América Latina The dramatic increases in crime rates and the perception of insecurity in Mexico has fueled the interest in decoding the relationship between fear and the urban environment. This paper examines different epistemological perspectives to understand more deeply the phenomenon of fear of crime. With a special emphasis on those perspectives that go beyond the rationalist models, we explored issues of representation, speeches, scales and contexts, aiming to explore local narratives, cultural representations and different levels of symbolic meaning that contribute to the spatial construction of fear. Los dramáticos incrementos en los índices delictivos y en la percepción de la inseguridad en México han impulsado el interés en decodificar la relación entre el miedo y el entorno urbano. El presente trabajo examina diferentes perspectivas epistemológicas para entender con mayor profundidad el fenómeno del miedo a la delincuencia. Con un especial énfasis en aquellas perspectivas que van más allá de los modelos racionalistas, exploramos cuestiones de representación, discursos, escalas y contextos, con la intención de explorar las narrativas locales, las representaciones culturales y los diferentes niveles de significado simbólico que contribuyen en la construcción espacial del miedo.
