The research is framed in "socioeconomic conditions that generate citizen insecurity". Citizen insecurity is a macro social problem that affects the most sensitive population such as marginalized sectors that do not have an optimal infrastructure for a good development and safe recreation of the human being, those to whom socioeconomic conditions are not favorable producing a vulnerability to be violators of the law product of their need to survive and also to become victims of crime. To this we must add the role of the media, the constant flow of news red news creates a situation of tension in society regarding citizen insecurity, suggesting the thinking of people to condition their lives to avoid being victims of crime. The background of the social problem of citizen insecurity is related to the existence of socio-economic conditions that articulate and generate the degrading processes of civic coexistence, affecting, from the perspective of sociology, the good living of human society. Therefore, citizen insecurity is manifested when the elements of the state isolate and leave a specific sector adrift, added to the precarious condition of the same and the lack of education of the inhabitants, which creates an adverse situation in the unconscious collective of people. In this regard, the Costa Azul sector of the city of Machala is not outside of this problematic due to its physical, geographical and socioeconomic conditions that are not favorable for a development of the families that inhabit the sector, causing a high index of insecurity.
