La movilidad humana y su influencia en la dinámica delictiva, análisis comunidad venezolana y colombiana en Ecuador

Abstract

The intense migratory flow to Ecuador, driven by social problems associated with insecurity due to the guerrillas in southern Colombia and, more recently, by the Venezuelan economic breakdown, due to political tensions and failed government economic measures, has put Ecuadorian society in contact with human groups fully identified with another culture. Problems arise when Ecuadorian citizens associate foreign social groups, particularly Colombians and Venezuelans, with crime and insecurity. The present study is to determine if there is a relationship between the migratory waves of the last decade and the increase in crime in areas of influence of migration. The methodology used was documentary analysis. It was concluded that a high number of Venezuelan citizens in transit commit crimes of opportunity, driven by necessity. Likewise, Colombian citizens commit crimes more related to organized crime, but nevertheless, crime in this population segment is minimal, hence there is not enough evidence to indicate that the increase in crime is a direct consequence of migration of citizens Venezuelan and Colombian.
