La presencia de un arma de fuego en situaciones de violencia íntima incrementa la probabilidad de la victimización fatal. No obstante, en Argentina ninguna investigación completa se ha hecho sobre las armas de fuego en femicidios. Este trabajo exploratorio indaga sobre el rol de las armas de fuego en la violencia íntima en general y los femicidios en particular para una evaluación de las medidas de prevención existentes. Propone a) revisar la literatura académica y la normativa existente sobre el femicidio en general, y en América Latina y en Argentina en particular; b) revelar la preocupación internacional sobre el uso de armas de fuego en los femicidios; c) analizar los datos estadísticos disponibles sobre violencia íntima y femicidios que involucran armas de fuego en la Argentina y d) reflexionar acerca de las iniciativas legislativas, las políticas y acciones sociales para mejorar las medidas preventivas que reduzcan el uso del medio más letal para la comisión de femicidios: las armas de fuego.
Independently of the varying national homicide indexes, the fear of crime affects all socio-political dimensions across Latin American countries and influences the agendas of political parties, security markets, and everyday life. This contribution presents an overview on the fear of crime and insecurity studies in the region, focusing on two main fields: fear of crime studies showcasing similarities and differences among Latin American countries in terms of the relationship between fear and victimization, gender, class, age, and community cohesion perceptions, and the socio-cultural dimension to this phenomenon, including media influences on the fear of delinquency, the role of the state, and the general climate of ontological insecurity.
