Feeling of insecurity of goods and people in Abidjan

The events that occurred during the Ivorian military-political crisis have often led to the perception that people and their property are insecure. This study addresses the issue in the Abidjan metropolis in particular, by comparing feelings of insecurity before and after the crisis, collected with the help of a questionnaire, from a sample of individuals obtained by reasoned choice from a factorial design. It emerges that the feeling of insecurity underwent significant changes in several areas after the crisis. Thus, most individuals after the crisis are "always" afraid of being attacked, while the morning and the daytime have become the times perceived as being the most dangerous.
