N2 - This work focuses on the application of the Rasch Model for the
Victimization Analysis. The aim of this paper is to propose a new Citizen
Insecurity Perception Index referring to the Italian Country as well as to its
Regions or Geographical areas. The Index is defined by means of the person
location parameters estimated by a Rasch Model. This procedure is particularly
suitable since the synthetic value of the latent variable “Insecurity Perception” is
first evaluated at individual level; its estimated scores are then naturally
aggregated to higher levels.
