Abstract

This is a descriptive study of the cost it represents for the Salvadoran government to finance the ongoing expense of engaging private security service providers. This relates to the situation of public finances, and implications for security and surveillance of public facilities by private companies. A desk review of institutional data was undertaken, measuring the central trend of this expense. Finally, the conclusions describe the issue in its relevant dimensions, and other pertinent topics of research also come to light.
