Hernández, W., Cozzubo, A. y Román, A. (2024). ¿A costa de qué?: el estado de emergencia en el Callao y su impacto de corto y largo plazo sobre la seguridad ciudadana, la violencia familiar y el bienestar social. Lima: CIES.

In Peru, the declaration of a state of emergency (EE) has become a common and widely requested public policy measure to address the crime problem. Recently, the government declared the EE in several districts, including San Juan de Lurigancho and San Martin de Porres in Lima, and Sullana in Piura (DS 105-2023-PCM) (El Comercio, 25/9/2023), in addition to more districts in Piura and Trujillo that had already implemented this measure in 2022 (DS 107-2022-PCM). This is in addition to previous experiences in Callao in 2015 and 2021, with the same purpose of combating delinquency and organized crime.

This research will contribute to several aspects of the citizen security research agenda, such as the relationship between the police and the citizenry, the effectiveness of state interventions, gender violence, and the perception of insecurity. We aim to provide useful evidence for the National Citizen Security Plan 2019-2023 and other policies related to gender-based violence, such as the National Gender Equality Policy and the Results-Oriented Budget Program on violence against women, among others.
