Abstract

This article analyses the validity and reliability of the Chilean most important survey to measure fear of crime: The National Crime Survey (ENUSC). In this sense, the analysis of the questions and categories included in this survey is based on a mix method research conducted between 2016 and 2017, complementing semi-structured interviews and Exploratory Factor Analysis. Reflecting on these results, this study identifies not only several definitional and operational biases and limitations, but also specific methodological shortcomings. Finally, these problematic issues are discussed, not only from a methodological perspective but also regarding the potential to inform research and criminal policy.
