          Abstract

          Resumen Los estudios de opinión pública de la región latinoamericana muestran que en la última década la inseguridad se convirtió en la principal preocupación ciudadana. Entre las dimensiones que se analizan, algunos gobiernos, organismos internacionales y la sociedad, culpabilizan a los medios de comunicación de acrecentar la preocupación por la recurrencia de noticias sobre delitos. Sin embargo, las evidencias sobre su incidencia son dispares, y los distintos tipos de recepción de una misma noticia están condicionados por una serie de variables. Este artículo retoma las principales discusiones sobre la recepción de los relatos mediáticos de la inseguridad a partir de estudios de países anglosajones y latinoamericanos. Se propone contribuir a la necesaria discusión sobre el papel de los medios y su vínculo con la opinión pública en este sensible tema.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Public opinion studies in Latin America show that in the last decade insecurity has become the main public concern. Among the arguments analyzed, we can see that some governments, international organizations and societies blame the media of increasing people’s fear by continuously reporting on crime. However, evidence on its impact is unclear, and the different types of reception that emerge from the same news report are conditioned by a number of variables. This article discusses the main arguments over the reception of crime reports, based on Anglo-Saxon and Latin American studies. Thus, we propose to contribute to the discussion on the role of the media and its connection to public opinion on this sensitive subject.
