註釋 This report addresses critical questions about how insecurity impacts everyday life in Central America and how violence shapes behaviors from economic activity to migration. Based on approximately 9,300 in-person interviews conducted across nationally representative samples in Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama as a part of the 2016/17 AmericasBarometer, these findings paint a detailed portrait of the ongoing toll that crime takes on countries in Central America. They also point the way towards some potential solutions. The 2016/17 AmericasBarometer shows that fear of crime leads large percentages of the population to alter their daily activities-- avoiding public transit or making purchases, keeping children at home, changing jobs or place of study, moving neighborhoods, and even considering emigration.
