Abstract

BELLO MONTES, Catalina. New challenges for police corps in a globalized world. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2012, vol.54, n.2, pp.133-147. ISSN 1794-3108.

The article attempts to analyze the impact of globalization on police corps and, therefore, on the functions they perform in search of a good coexistence. The current debate focuses on the effects of globalization on crime, and the strategies undertaken by government agencies in order to obtain better results in their fight against delinquency. The document shows how this has a significant impact on social, economic, political, institutional and cultural dynamics and, consequently, on the crime control policy. These aspects are of growing importance in one of the institutions that play the most fundamental role in this sense: the police institution. Finally, it is aimed at analyzing the likely future scenarios demanding a change in the National Police of Colombia.

Keywords : Police; criminality; criminology; security; delinquency.
