Abstract
La “inseguridad ciudadana” está en el centro del debate contemporáneo sobre la seguridad pública en nuestras sociedades. Un “problema urbano” sobre el que existe un enorme consenso a la hora de “luchar” contra él, es decir, existen unas instituciones concretas que se “hacen cargo” del mismo. Un problema social sobre el que se han venido implementando en las últimas décadas toda una serie de medidas que van, desde la instalación de cámaras de seguridad en las calles, hasta la aprobación de una polémica Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana, pasando por una cada vez mayor presencia policial en el “espacio público”. Todo un dispositivo securitario que, a partir de la inseguridad ciudadana como “problema”, se ha ido legitimando progresivamente en la ciudad.Ante semejante “problema”, cabe preguntarse ¿de dónde procede? ¿Siempre se ha formulado de la misma manera a lo largo de la historia? ¿Cuál es la relación de éste con el espacio urbano, es decir, con la estructura social urbana? ¿Cómo operan los discursos acerca de la inseguridad en diferentes grupos sociales? ¿Es la misma inseguridad la que experimenta una persona joven que una mayor, una mujer que un hombre, una persona rica que una pobre? ¿Por qué la inseguridad se “gestiona” a partir de los “barrios”? ¿En qué dirección opera la inseguridad a la hora de producir sociedad? En fin, ¿qué relación existe entre la inseguridad ciudadana y la desigualdad social? Estas son algunas de las preguntas que, a lo largo de esta tesis, hemos tratado de responder...
"Citizen insecurity" is at the heart of the contemporary debate on public safety in our societies. An "urban problem" on which there is a huge consensus when it comes to "fighting" against it, that is, there are specific institutions that "take care" of it. A social problem that has been implemented in the last decades a series of measures ranging from the installation of security cameras on the streets to the passage of a controversial Citizen Security Law, passing through an increasing Police presence in the "public space". A security device that, from the citizen insecurity as a "problem", has gradually been legitimized in the city.In the face of such a "problem", we must ask ourselves, where does it come from? Has it always been formulated in the same way throughout history? What is the relation of this “problem” with the urban space, that is, with the urban social structure? How do discourses about insecurity work in different social groups? Is the same insecurity experienced by a young person as an elder, a woman than a man, a rich person than a poor person? Why is insecurity "managed" from the "neighborhoods"? In what direction does insecurity operate when it comes to producing society? Finally, what is the relationship between citizen insecurity and social inequality? These are some of the questions that, throughout this thesis, we have tried to answer...
