Análisis de las medidas preventivas y acciones adoptadas por las entidades oficiales del municipio de Pamplona para reducir los riesgos y factores desencadenantes de delitos contra el adulto mayor.

Abstract

The thesis analyzes the preventive measures and actions adopted by the official entities of the municipality of Pamplona to reduce the risks and triggering factors of crimes against the elderly. A descriptive qualitative research was carried out, collecting data through interviews with entities that protect the elderly and people who are victims of abuse. Several risk factors and challenges associated with elder abuse in Pamplona are identified. These include economic and emotional dependence, social isolation, lack of access to basic services, lack of education about rights, the presence of family conflicts and the fear of reporting abuse due to the vulnerability of those affected. Local authorities have implemented some preventive measures, such as Hogar Día to provide care and activities for older adults, and national subsidies for their well-being. However, a lack of community support and collaboration is identified to carry out effective public policies. Based on national policies and the responses of local authorities, recommendations are proposed to address the problem of elder abuse in Pamplona. These include strengthening the application of Law 1276 of 2009, developing awareness campaigns, improving care and support services, training care staff, establishing clear reporting channels and promoting inter-institutional collaboration. In summary, the thesis highlights the need for coordinated action between the authorities, the community and the entities that protect the elderly to prevent and mitigate abuse towards this vulnerable population in Pamplona
