The Importance Of Public Safety

The importance of public safety

Public security has always been a worrying issue for governments, from the first human settlements groups were created to safeguard the physical integrity of the members of the community. First, of predators and subsequently rivals or enemies.

In modern history, since the rulers are chosen by the people, the vast majority of them, in their political campaigns promise to end insecurity and not have mercy with those social misfits that transgress the rights and property of others, as well as their physical and emotional stability.

Unfortunately, in Mexico, more and more a promise without fulfill.

In the mid -eighties it was still common to see children playing alone in the streets or go and return from school alone without any problem;In the afternoon, all the children were going and we came countless times to the store for the orders of our parents, for our sweets for eating or for the tortillas for food time. customs that were gradually disappearing until today is practically non -existent in the face of the fear that parents have to risk their children to be victims of crime.

The General Directorate of Criminal Policy and Statistics of the Attorney General’s Office in its statistical report of criminal incidence (https: // www.PGJ.CDMX.Gob.MX/Procuraduria/Statistics-Delictive) shows us, for example, malicious homicides went from 63 in January 2014 to 129 in January 2019 (increase of more than 200%) or the robbery of microbus passenger that went from 97In January 2014 to 323 in January 2019 (more than 300% increase).

It is ironic, shameless and outrageous that, these data are the officers delivered by the authority and that our rulers come out of saying, every time they are directly questioned about the issue, that security is improving and that it is fighting crime,When the same statistics and, above all, the appreciation of the population, indicate otherwise.

Diego Enrique Osorno already said “organized crime in Mexico is that it originates, sustains and nourishes from the structures of the State, particularly those that theoretically exist to combat, precisely, crime."

While the authorities do not have the real and firm conviction of fighting this evil, there is no doubt that insecurity in Mexico will continue to grow as it has been doing for several decades for several decades.
