Análisis de las políticas públicas aplicadas a la seguridad ciudadana en el Ecuador en la última década (2013 2023)

Abstract

Abstract: Citizen security is a global concern that affects the general population. This research examines the evolution and impact of public policies on citizen security in Ecuador during the period from 2013 to 2023. Throughout this decade, Ecuador experienced various sociopolitical, economic, and legislative changes that influenced the formulation and execution of security strategies. The research focused on three main objectives: analyzing the public policies implemented, their evolution, and identifying the percentage of insecurity experienced by the population. A qualitative methodology was established through data collection, which identified significant challenges such as inter-institutional coordination, corruption within security forces, and responses to new forms of criminality. In this context, it is suggested that there is a need to strengthen the continuous training and education of security forces, improve internal control mechanisms, and promote active community participation in the design and implementation of security policies.
