Los delitos de extorsión en Guayaquil y su vulneración del derecho a la seguridad jurídica.

Abstract

This thesis, entitled "EXTORTION CRIMES IN GUAYAQUIL: VIOLATION OF THE RIGHT TO LEGAL SECURITY," has the primary objective of establishing the difference between extortion crimes and crimes against property. The analysis was developed through a review of doctrine and national and international legislation related specifically to the crimes of extortion, attempt, and intimidation. Therefore, the crime of extortion should be analyzed as one of the important causes of the social, cultural, and economic deterioration in the city of Guayaquil, due to the economic deficit it is creating due to the lack of adequate classification and increased penalties. A qualitative method was used because the different types of economies, organized crime, and extortion crimes and their types were studied, since these are the ones that directly affect society. A legislative proposal was drafted to address the existing legal gap regarding the crime of attempted extortion, as contemplated in Article 185 of the COIP.
