This paper study factors related with the perception of insecurity in residents of priority geographical polygons in Acapulco, by descriptive and correlational statistical analysis. Data was collected through a survey, following a representative sampling within each polygon, for testing mean differences. The results revealed that the perception of insecurity is associated with schooling, confidence in the police, criminal incidence, the existence of street gangs, and the polygon of residence. Also was found a weak correlation, but statistically significant, between the perception of insecurity and the proportion of modified activities due to fear of crime, which in turn is associated with sex, age group, criminal incidence, and its polygon.Downloads
