Understanding the Crisis in Argentina's Security and the Need for Government Control

📚 Police forces around the world have historically been tools of government management.

🔒 In Argentina, the police have become recipients of delegated public security responsibilities.

💔 The autonomy of the police is compromised due to their role as a political instrument.

📖 The security crisis in Argentina requires the political system to regain control of public security and establish intervention strategies.

💼 The autonomy of organized crime and the breakdown of police institutions raise doubts about the viability of the government's alliance with the police.

🤔 There has been no reformulation or reassessment of political leadership in response to the crisis, leading to an ongoing struggle for control.

The use of videovigilance and increased police presence on the streets is seen as a way to address crime.

There is a belief that politicians need to take action and be transparent in order to gain public support and win elections.

The rise of criminal activity and institutional corruption has led to public outrage and protests.

🔑 The problem of insecurity in Argentina is similar to what I experienced in Brazil in the 90s.

🌍 There is a strong belief in society that the solution to insecurity is solely through the police.

💡 In societies where there is widespread noncompliance with the law, the idea that the state is the main provider of security is still prevalent.

👮‍♂️ The police force in Neuquén practices trigger-happy behavior with the consent of the government and support from a sector of society.

👥 The society plays a role in enabling and encouraging the abusive behavior of the police force in Neuquén.

🔒 The government's strategy for managing security is to hide crime and suppress information, creating a false sense of security.

Some sectors of society support the lenient policy on trigger-happy actions.

Governmental vacuum leads to uncertainty in information and influences the political landscape.

Government lacks objective data on crime and struggles to counteract the situation.
