Delinquência juvenil e o recrutamento de jovens de baixos rendimentos por quadrilhas de tráfico de drogas no sector Pascuales/Guayaquil (Equador)

Abstract

El presente proyecto de grado analiza el fenómeno de la delincuencia juvenil y el reclutamiento de jóvenes adolescentes por parte de las bandas narcotraficantes en el sector de Pascuales/Guayaquil-Ecuador. Partiendo desde el reconocimiento de que la violencia y las bandas criminales han aumentado dentro de la zona entre 2019 y 2023, Ecuador fue testigo del aumento de un 640%, lo cual indica una gran escalada en la violencia juvenil, afectando específicamente a los jóvenes que viven en situación de pobreza, desintegración en la familia, la exclusión educativa y la falta de oportunidades laborales. Utilizando el enfoque metodológico cualitativo para la realización del proyecto de investigación, combinando el análisis de las fuentes oficiales con entrevistas a jóvenes y padres de familia o adultos responsables, identificando los principales factores que predisponen a los jóvenes a integrarse a las bandas narcotraficantes. Asimismo, se utilizan como guía de interpretación teorías criminológicas como las teorías sobre la delincuencia juvenil, las teorías del conflicto y la marginalidad, las teorías sobre el crimen organizado y narcotráfico y la teoría de la asociación diferencial. Los resultados que se busca obtener por medio de la investigación son evidenciar que el reclutamiento juvenil no es un hecho aislado, sino una consecuencia directa de una estructura social desigual y de la ausencia del Estado dentro de la zona. Para concluir, se procura demostrar la importancia y la urgencia de implementar políticas públicas integrales que busquen la prevención, la educación, la inclusión laboral y el fortalecimiento comunitario, para contrarrestar así el creciente reclutamiento de menores por parte de las bandas narcotraficantes.

This thesis analyzes the phenomenon of juvenile delinquency and the recruitment of young adolescents by drug trafficking gangs in the Pascuales/Guayaquil sector, Ecuador. Recognizing that violence and criminal gangs have increased within the region between 2019 and 2023, Ecuador witnessed a 640% increase, indicating a significant escalation in youth violence, specifically affecting young people living in poverty, family disintegration, educational exclusion, and lack of job opportunities. Using a qualitative methodological approach, combining the analysis of official sources with interviews with young people and parents or responsible adults, the study identifies the main factors that predispose young people to join drug trafficking gangs. Likewise, criminological theories such as theories of juvenile delinquency, conflict and marginalization, organized crime and drug trafficking, and differential association are used as guides for interpretation and understanding. The research aims to demonstrate that youth recruitment is not an isolated incident, but rather a direct consequence of an unequal social structure, highlighting the absence of the state within the region. To conclude, the aim is to demonstrate the importance and urgency of implementing comprehensive public policies that seek prevention, education, job inclusion, and community strengthening to counter the growing recruitment of minors by drug trafficking gangs.
