In the results found, the most determining socioeconomic factors that incite crime were found, which are family, social, psychological and economic. On the other hand, sources were found that affirm that the perception of insecurity can be affected by the way in which the media reports the facts, since they usually apply strategies such as the repetition of news and the use of tension music at the moment of Submit criminal notes.
