Una mirada a la desigualdad social y la violencia delictiva en Venezuela
description
Abstract In Venezuela, in the few past years, a reduction in social inequality has been witnessed while, in contrast, criminal violence levels have gone up in a signifi cant manner. With the objective of studying such an ambivalent relations hip, this research is offered as based on a supplementary methodology where a correlation has been established between the levels of social inequality, measured through the Gini index and the homicide rate in chronological series of over more than ten years. Likewise, work was carried out on the life story of two cases with differentiated criminal patterns. The results of the quantitative correlation show that the social inequality reduction seen here is connected with the rising homicide rate. This is contrary to what the experience in other countries has indicated, while in qualitative exploration it was found that, structurally speaking, social inequality is not what either motivates or inhibits the criminal and violent conduct of individuals. but rather the individual perceptions constructed from the equality or inequality situation as catalyzers of these actions. The conclusion is that the relationship between social inequality and violence has a deep echo in these perceptions since, ultimately, they are e latter since they are ultimately what feeds back the structural construction existing between these two variables.

A fim de estudar esta relação a seguinte investigação é proposta, com base numa metodología complementar, os níveis de desigualdade social medidos pelo índice de Gini e a taxa de homicídio em uma série cronológica de dez anos foram correlacionados; do mesmo modo, nós trabalhamos com a história de vida de dois casos com diferentes padrões de criminalidade. Os resultados da correlação quantitativa mostram que a redução da desigualdade social está relacionada ao aumento no número de homicídios, contrário do que indica a experiencia de outros países, enquanto a exploração qualitativa é que não é a desigualdade social, estruturalmente falando, o que motiva ou inibe o comportamento criminoso e violento no indivíduo. Ao contrário, são percepções individuais, que são construídas a partir dessa situação de igualdade ou desigualdade, que catalisa tais ações. Conclui-se que a relação entre desigualdade social e violência tem um eco profundo nas percepções individuais, que, no final, retroalimentam a construção estrutural entre estas duas variáveis.Resumen En los últimos años, en Venezuela se ha asistido a una reducción de la desigualdad social, pero los niveles de violencia delictiva se han incrementado en forma significativa. Con el objetivo de estudiar esta relación se propone la presente investigación, en la que, con base en una metodología complementaria, se correlacionaron los niveles de desigualdad social, medida a través del Índice Gini y la tasa de homicidio en una serie cronológica de más de diez años; de igual manera, se trabajó con la historia de vida de dos casos con patrones delictivos diferenciados. Los resultados de la correlación cuantitativa muestran que la reducción de la desigualdad social está relacionada con el incremento de los homicidios, al contrario de lo que indica la experiencia de otros países, mientras que en la exploración cualitativa se encuentra que no es la desigualdad social, estructuralmente hablando, lo que motiva o inhibe la conducta delictiva y violenta en el individuo. Más bien son las percepciones individuales, que se construyen desde dicha situación de igualdad o desigualdad, lo que cataliza tales acciones. Se concluye que la relación entre desigualdad social y violencia tiene un eco muy profundo en las percepciones individuales, que, al final de cuentas, retroalimentan la construcción estructural entre estas dos variables.2017text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6226262(Revista) ISSN 1794-3108Criminalidad, ISSN 1794-3108, Vol. 59, Nº. 2, 2017, pags. 65-80spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
