GOMEZ VILCHIS, Ricardo R.. Perceptions of Crime and Presidential Approval Ratings in Mexico Before and After the Transition of 2000. Sociológica (Méx.) [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.75, pp.95-123. ISSN 2007-8358.
Are citizens anxious to punish the president with low approval levels when he does not work to fight crime? This article uses Mexico as a case study to examine the relationship between the public's perception of crime and presidential approval ratings. The research uses 11 national surveys ranging form 1994 to 2006 to analyze the effects of the perception of crime on presidential approval ratings before and after the democratic transition of 2000. The main proposition is that after the transition, the issue of crime became more important and its effects carry more weight when people evaluate the president.
