Abstract

This study was developed to examine the relationship between the rates of victimization and the feeling of insecurity through data from a national survey, which were collected to assess the prevalence of victimization in Brazil and specific rates of crimes, as well as to study the demographic profile of victims. The results of four logistic regressions showed that the feeling of insecurity is positively related to victimization, furthermore, when demographic variables are included in the model (gender, education, age and Major Regions) as predictors of the feeling of insecurity, there are interesting effects. Still, we emphasize that the results indicate that the feeling of insecurity should not be interpreted as an irrational or unreasonable response, but as a reaction to the beliefs of danger.
