Resumen
La presente investigación tiene como propósito analizar los factores socioeconómicos que incidieron en el incremento de homicidios en la ciudad de Barranquilla durante el año 2022. A través de un enfoque cualitativo, se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a líderes comunitarios, funcionarios públicos y ciudadanos residentes en zonas vulnerables de la ciudad. Asimismo, se revisaron documentos oficiales, reportes de prensa y estudios previos sobre violencia urbana. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que el aumento de homicidios está relacionado principalmente con el desempleo, la pobreza, la desigualdad social, la expansión del microtráfico, la deserción escolar y la debilidad institucional. Las zonas periféricas de Barranquilla, especialmente en los sectores Suroriente y Suroccidente, presentan los mayores niveles de afectación. La discusión plantea que estos factores interactúan entre sí y configuran un entorno donde los jóvenes, especialmente entre los 18 y 30 años, se convierten tanto en víctimas como en victimarios. Se concluye que la problemática requiere de intervenciones integrales que combinen políticas públicas efectivas en materia de seguridad, inclusión social y educación.
This research aims to analyze the socioeconomic factors that contributed to the increase in homicides in the city of Barranquilla during 2022. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with community leaders, public officials, and residents of vulnerable neighborhoods. Additionally, official documents, press reports, and previous studies on urban violence were reviewed. The findings indicate that the rise in homicides is mainly associated with unemployment, poverty, social inequality, the expansion of drug trafficking, school dropout, and institutional weakness. The peripheral areas of Barranquilla, especially in the Southeastern and Southwestern sectors, are the most affected. The discussion highlights how these factors interact and create an environment where young people, particularly between the ages of 18 and 30, become both victims and perpetrators. It is concluded that addressing this issue requires comprehensive interventions that combine effective public policies in security, social inclusion, and education.
