Abstract
The study aimed to examine the reciprocal relationship between citizen insecurity and economic performance in urban areas of Peru over the period 2015–2025. Insecurity among citizens, alongside the expansion of criminal organisations, poses a significant challenge for Peru, with consequences extending beyond the realm of security and substantially influencing the nation’s economic and social development. The immediate economic repercussions, estimated to exceed 3% of GDP, represent merely a fraction of a broader issue that undermines investor confidence, elevates business operating costs, disrupts consumption and productivity patterns, and diminishes the overall quality of life for the population.
