Reply #7: You don't need to be directly affected by crime to be worried

Obviously not.

The poll doesn't say it's right-wing media that scare them about criminality like Peace Patriot does. They just say it's the criminality (!) that has affected them, directly, in most cases.

55% Venezuelans believe that crime is the most important issue in the country while "only" 39% have been crime victims. From that information to concluding that they have an "overinflated" fear of crime because of the right-wing media, it takes a big amount of spin and a real nugget to believe that "logic".

If Venezuelans are scared about crime it's because crime is really high. This year, the estimations are around 14,500-15,000 killed by the crime and 2,500 by the police.
