Abstract

For some time now, the axes of public policy have focused on aspects related to security, a phenomenon that has not been exclusively national. Risk management and the demand for better levels of public security have translated into a growing demand for greater public intervention in these areas. Based on this demand, from the technical-instrumental perspective, more and more general empowerment clauses or indeterminate legal concepts are being established, which has meant an enforcement of state powers that (paradoxically) have endangered public freedoms.
