description This article evaluates the influence of implementing the Multisectoral Strategy Barrio Seguro (EMBS) on the inhabitants of the Manzanares neighbourhood in the district of Huacho in Peru. Since 2017, this public policy of the Ministry of Interior seeks to intervene in the security conditions and safe coexistence of certain territories that report high crime rates. This quantitative research surveyed 353 people to establish that, in 49.2 % of cases, the EMBS has had inadequate influence. Although not a significant impact, the policy meets certain expectations that suggests that robust institutions, greater trust in the authorities, and organic participation of civil society could enhance its effects. The study recommends assessing the EMBS experience in other neighbourhoods and cities. It also proposes the application of qualitative studies that provide tools for building the idea of citizen security.

Este artículo evalúa la influencia de la aplicación Estrategia Multisectorial Barrio Seguro (EMBS) sobre los habitantes del barrio Manzanares en el distrito de Huacho en Perú. Esta es una política pública del Ministerio del Interior que, desde 2017, busca intervenir las condiciones de seguridad y convivencia pacífica de ciertos territorios que reportan altas tasas de criminalidad. Esta investigación de enfoque cuantitativo encuestó a 353 personas para establecer que en el 49,2 % de los casos la EMBS ha tenido una influencia regular. Si bien no es una influencia significativa, la política colma ciertas expectativas y su efecto podría potenciarse con una institucionalidad más fuerte, mayor confianza hacia las autoridades y participación orgánica de la sociedad civil. El estudio recomienda que la experiencia de la EMBS pueda evaluarse en otros barrios y ciudades. Se propone, además, que se apliquen estudios cualitativos que den cuenta de una aproximación a la construcción de la idea de la seguridad ciudadana.
