BARINAS SALCEDO, Jaime Alberto. Contributions of Humanistic Geography for Understanding the Places of Fear of Delinquency in the City. Perspectiva Geográfica [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp.241-258.  Epub June 04, 2024. ISSN 0123-3769.

Fear of delinquency is part of the insecurities of the world today. Those insecurities are both fixed and expressed in the daily experience of individuals and the perceptive interchange with their surrounding space. The goal of this article is to carry out an approach from the perspective of humanistic geography to the socio-spatial construct of fear-to-delinquency places in the city, starting from the understanding of imaginaries and experiences of individuals and the way these influence their own relationships within the urban space.

Keywords : social construct; spatial experience; urban imaginary; fear-to-delinquency place.
