Hello,

I'm looking for advice on where to find public opinion surveys which measure
the impact of human rights violations in Latin America. I am familiar with
Chilean surveys which ask people's opinion re. what should be done about
these cases, but I don't know of any studies which try to measure impact.
By impact I mean simply the number of people who have themselves been
affected or who know someone who has, as well as the ways in which they've
been affected. Are there reliable surveys which measure this? Does anyone
know who's working on this problem and where they might be contacted?

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Saludos,

Pablo Policzer
