Citizens of Fear examines the problem from multiple perspectives. In part, it presents the survey results of social scientists documenting the pervasiveness of violence. But the numbers tell only part of the story. Other contributors present the moving testimonies of the victimized as well as of journalists covering the scene. A third group of essayists explores the implications of fear for both thought and behavior. As Susana Rotker writes, "The city has been transformed into a space of vulnerability and danger. . . . What I am interested in narrating here is . . . the generalized sensation of insecurity that taints the Latin American capitals, the sensation that has changed the ways people relate to urban space, to other human beings, to the state, and to the very concept of citizenship."
