Main Article Content
Abstract
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.
