Análisis de los factores que motivan la inseguridad en la parroquia El Sagrario de la ciudad de Cuenca en el año 2019

Abstract

Public safety is multidimensional, and it must guarantee that every citizen should be able to live freely without any misery or fear. Despite overall economic gains in social and technological rights this has not yet been achieved in Latin America which has also been catalogued as the most violent area in the world. In the county of Cuenca, parish “el Sagrario” it has been historically constituted as one of the most unsafe areas even though it has infrastructural and security facilities that have been determined by international standards as “suitable.”

Under these circumstances it is important to determine which social issues cause the parish “el Sagrario” to be unsafe. Through qualitative research it has been shown that poverty, inequality, lack of opportunities, alcoholism, drug abuse, prostitution, migration, and disorder are the main factors that trigger these criminal conditions in the parish “el Sagrario.”

The capitalist system and its principles determine the social dynamics of a society which has resulted in social issues that have been influenced by the level of violence in the parish “el Sagrario.” The authorities took on the challenge to reduce crime.
