description | The article presents results of a short-term research on lynching and lynching attempts happened in Quito during 2007. The analysis about these facts has to do with the relationships between executing acts and the brand-new “citizen security” paradigm, whose practices and discourse have proliferated in a dissimilar way promoting “community participation” on security work. Contradictions in this paradigm, along with an incresing perception of insecurity and helplessness, are components that suit lynching as a collective violence form, whose character is punitive and punishing. |

The analysis about these facts has to do with the relationships between executing acts and the brand-new “citizen security” paradigm, whose practices and discourse have proliferated in a dissimilar way promoting “community participation” on security work. Contradictions in this paradigm, along with an incresing perception of insecurity and helplessness, are components that suit lynching as a collective violence form, whose character is punitive and punishing. El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación corta acerca de los linchamientos y los intentos de linchamiento ocurridos en la ciudad de Quito durante el año 2007. El análisis acerca de estos hechos gira en torno a la relación de los actos de ajusticiamiento con el nuevo paradigma de la “seguridad ciudadana”, cuyo discurso y sus prácticas han proliferado de manera disímil promoviendo la “participación” de la “comunidad” en el trabajo en seguridad. Las contradicciones de este paradigma junto con el crecimiento de la percepción de inseguridad y desprotección son componentes que favorecen los linchamientos como forma de violencia colectiva de carácter punitivo y escarmentador.
