The source does not specify the number of respondents.
Respondents were asked the following questions:
"Has a police officer asked you for a bribe in the last twelve months?
In the last twelve months, did any government employee ask you for a bribe?"
The source specifies that the answers to these questions were converted to an index, based on which the percentage of respondents who were victims of bribery was calculated.
In a survey carried out in 2023, 12 percent of respondents in Guatemala said that they had been asked or had to pay a bribe in different interactions with police authorities. The number is lower for those who experienced the same by public officials.
