La cartografía de los temores: las web del delito en Iberoamérica

Abstract

Since the end of the last century, there has been significant growth in the use of Web 2.0, which allows the user to enter information and thus make a contribution to its configuration. In this context throughout the world, though with marked regional differences, a mapping of predominantly urban crimes and conflicts has developed, for which individual and group collaborations are often requested. This article will analyze the eighteen webs of crime existing in Latin America during the year 2010. We will conduct research on their leadership, their membership and their format. We will put them on the context of the territory they are related to. The intention is to establish different categories and find the regularities that explain how these webs operate and their spatial influence
