Institutions and security based on envipe and ensu (2018–2024) in Mexico: citizen perception and institutional evaluation

Abstract

This study analyzes relevant institutional approaches for evaluating citizens' perceptions of security policies in Mexico between 2018 and 2024. This period is marked by attempts to consolidate democracy in a context of violence in various states of the country. The main objective is to examine how citizens evaluate the role of institutions and government strategies regarding security and violence reduction. The research uses empirical data from the National Survey on Victimization and Perception of Public Security and the National Urban Public Security Survey conducted in the last five years. The methodological approach is qualitative and exploratory-descriptive, based on the analysis of documentary sources and national statistics. The results allow for the identification of trends in institutional trust and social perception regarding the effectiveness of security policies. This study contributes to understanding the role of institutional frameworks in managing citizen security and provides inputs for designing public policies aimed at democratic stability and social development in Mexico.
