This paper studies, for the Colombian case, the relationship between illicit crops, coca crops eradication strategies and citizens' perceptions of trust on the local executive and the police. Using survey data from the America's Barometer and contextual level data on coca crops and eradication strategies it was possible to conclude: a higher local incidence of illicit drugs trafficking has a negative relationship with citizens' perceptions of trust on the local governments. These relationships are not homogeneous as they are conditioned by individual level variables such as evaluations of the economy and the provision of public goods. Adapted from the source document.
