Violence as a transnational phenomenon articulated to organized crime

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze violence as a transnational phenomenon linked to organized crime. Therefore, the research presented is framed according to its nature in a postpositive, qualitative, socio-legal documentary type approach. Likewise, it uses a multi-method design, based on the interpretative-critical study, which corresponds to works based on the exhaustive review of documentation. Similarly, it bases its development on a bibliographic design. Throwing as a result that in the four countries examined, the violence generated as a result of economic, political and social factors, as well as the ungovernability in these States, is directly linked to the generation of organized crime, since its consolidation is evident in all modalities, bringing with it the deterioration of public institutions that guarantee social welfare, due to impunity for criminal actions. As in other countries of the world, this scourge affects not only the institutionality of the State by making it ungovernable, but the security of people, who feel constantly threatened in their physical integrity. Additionally, it encourages corruption, favoring other criminal actions such as kidnapping and extortion. Concluding that Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala and Venezuela share certain facilitating indicators of the presence of criminal activities promoted by organized crime, which significantly affect not only the populations of these countries, but also those states through which these groups transit to carry out your transactions.
