THE INELUDIBLE EMPLOYMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE AND CRIMINOLOGY TO GUARANTEE THE INTEGRAL SECURITY OF THE POPULATION IN THE IBEROAMERICAN COUNTRIES

The author analyzes critically, but constructively, from political science, social anthropology, sociology and criminology, the problem of the lack of comprehensive security in Ibero-American countries, a situation contrary to one of the two essential purposes of any state, what which is manifested in high crime rates and perception of insecurity, due to the prevailing policy of a neo-liberal court in economic matters and criminal expansionism as any response from the State, which involves criminalization, hyperpunitivism, punitive populism, imprisonment and normalization of violence, all aspects of which shape governance through crime, without a political vocation to overcome the serious social problem involved in the criminal question. It concludes that ethically exercised politics and criminology must be used to effectively solve the problem.
