Abstract

Violence is a problem that humanity has dealt with for centuries, hence a series of studies have emerged that try to decipher the causes and propose solutions to this phenomenon. In general terms, it is known of the docility of the defeated and the influence of the empires of the day to open spaces conducive to the action of the violent. Despite this panorama, cities continue to bet their growth for the future, but if this phenomenon is not controlled, it will be difficult for the aspiration to become development to promote employment, however, there is the option of private enterprise, who with the investment of its capital could contribute to the solution. In view of this, the objective of this paper is to reflect on the impact of social violence in urban areas. From the methodological point of view, it was approached as analytic research consolidated in 34 scientific publications that deal with the subject in question from different perspectives. It concludes by pointing out that it is urgent to change the current perception of insecurity in the most affected cities; otherwise, progress and social coexistence would be compromised, and the action of those who do evil would prevail over good citizens.
