In recent decades, studies on economics have identified happiness as a life quality indicator that not only accounts for individuals’ socioeconomic improvement but also accounts for their interactions with institutions and public goods, such as personal safety and protection of life. This study examines the determinants of individual happiness of Latin American citizens by focusing on whether the individual had been a victim of a crime in the last twelve months. To do this, a generalized ordered logit with partial constraints is used to analyze data obtained from the Americas Barometer Survey of 2014. The individual self- reported level of life satisfaction is used to study its relationship with having been a victim of a crime during the previous year. The results suggest the existence of a negative relationship between having been a victim of a crime in the past twelve months and being very satisfied with life.

Colombia ha sido un país con una larga historia de violencia y corrupción, por lo que se hace importante analizar la relación entre la victimización de dichos delitos sufrida por los individuos y su percepción de satisfacción con la vida. Se utiliza información entre 2004 y 2014 contenida en LAPOP, a manera de secciones transversales repetidas. Con el fin de encontrar dicho efecto, se estima robustamente un modelo probabilístico ordenado, en donde los resultados sugieren que la victimización del último año reduce en 6.7 puntos porcentuales la probabilidad de sentirse muy satisfecho con la vida y el haber sido víctima de algún soborno en 5 puntos porcentuales.
