Centro de Estudios Sociales y de Opinion Publica

[Jedburgh]

I need a Spanish speaker to help me out here. I'm trying to find a 17 Sep 07 report discussing crime rates, impunity, and public opinion of the crime situation in Mexico. I know it is available in a pdf file somewhere on the website, but I can't read Spanish. I'd appreciate if someone could hook me up with a precise link to the document.

Here is the website:

There are six research centers within the Chamber of Deputies. The one that published the report is the Centro de Estudios Sociales y de Opinion Publica.

Thanks

Ted:

Are you looking for Seguridad Pública: tendencias predominantes en estudios de opinión? It addresses public perception of crime and law enforcement, although its dated April 2007.

There's reporting of regional crime rates in this August 2006 report too.

*still looking *

Thanks, Rex. That's an interesting report (I can't read Spanish, but the charts and bullet comments I can just about figure out); the one I'm looking for is from the specific date I mentioned: 17 Sep 07.

I want to get a look at the more detailed stats in the report itself, rather than reading English reporting about the report. I don't believe it states anything that isn't already available in other English language assessments - but the fact that it is put out by the MX government is part of the reason why I need to find it.

Jed,

You mean to tell me you don't have the latest language converter software?

Yes, but it keeps telling him that his hovercraft is full of eels, in multiple languages.

Problem solved,

I am sure these BP agents will be available to translate
