Also, an analysis of the real<br />crime, hidden and complained to the city of Cali, from victimization survey DANE 2003. This is to show that not all sectors of society are affected by<br />crime in the same way: the lower strata are the most victimized and the most<br />vulnerable, while the high seems to live in a much better position, in many<br />cases because of private protection. Finally, some methodological findings<br />contribute to future studies. ER -
