The crime of theft is among the criminal behaviors that most affect private assets and that has the greatest impact on the perception of citizen insecurity. The state criminal policy has been ineffective in its work to reduce this crime and guarantee the protection of the property of its inhabitants, in accordance with the constitutional mandate and, on the contrary, there is an upward trend. This situation reveals the need to establish the different causes that generate it and the public policies that are being implemented to guarantee the economic heritage, a legal asset affected by this criminal behavior. For this, this study analyzes from a criminological perspective the approach given to the subject in the country and its conformity with the fundamental rights and guarantees of the offenders. It is concluded that criminal theft policy has been mainly repressive, although in recent years there has been an increase in preventive and comprehensive legal and social measures.
