RINCON, Andrés. Theoretical approaches on the relationship between Citizen Security and Urban Violence in Colombia: a critical reading. URVIO [online]. 2018, n.22, pp.86-100. ISSN 1390-4299.  https://doi.org/10.17141/urvio.22.2018.3149.

This text presents a synthesis of the main analytical trends that have addressed the analysis of the dynamics of citizen security in Colombia. It seeks to demonstrate how the strategic change regarding the object, objectives and dynamics of public security policies in the country has been analyzed. In this sense, it seeks to analyze the way in which the relationship between urban violence and public policies has been thought; from there, it seeks to demonstrate how the transition has been addressed in the treatment of the internal enemy to the diversification in the treatment of multiple violence. In the second instance, it is sought to demonstrate the way in which such modifications occur within the profound changes in the international system of states, as in the framework of a series of dynamics at the national level that provide a new constitutional framework from 1991 onwards. Finally, we try to contextualize the way in which academic production in this regard problematizes the relationship between security and constitution of the state monopoly of force, its scope and limitations. Set of perspectives considered necessary to contemplate as a contribution to the processes of construction of security policies in the framework of the Colombian post-conflict.

Palabras clave : Colombia; citizen security; criminality and violence; urban violence.
