Estudios previos en México argumentan que la percepción de corrupción y la percepción de eficacia predicen la insatisfacción y la falta de confianza en la policía. Este artículo extiende estos estudios previos al examinar si la percepción de corrupción policial impacta el miedo al crimen entre la población adulta. Argumentamos que –más allá de los correlativos tradicionales del miedo al crimen y controlando por la intensidad de la guerra contra el crimen organizado– la evaluación de la reputación de la policía impacta la calidad de vida en la sociedad tal como lo indica el miedo al crimen. Los resultados de los modelos multinivel, basados en datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Victimización y Percepción sobre Seguridad Pública (ENVIPE, 2012–2017), confirman nuestro argumento. También hallamos que la experiencia de victimización y las incivilidades en la colonia son los principales predictores del miedo al crimen, mientras que la guerra contra el crimen organizado no mostró tener un efecto consistente
