Abstract

According to the United Nation´s Global Study on Homicides (2011), Latin America is currently the world´s most violent continent. Such violence is not homogeneous and its increase is related to the changes suffered by the international security scenario in general and particularly in Latin America. Thus, is necessary to differentiate the violence that exists in different societies as well as the impact their presence has in the citizenship. As a result, it is noteworthy that those countries with the highest indicators in terms of objective violence suggestively presents low rates related to subjective violence. There is no doubt that this phenomenon is due to each country´s cultural characteristics but also to the nature of violence and its links with criminal organizations.
