Resumen

The study of crime and its associated factors is fundamental to improving the well-being of a society. In this
context, this study aimed to understand the influence of amenities on crime in the urban areas of Cuenca
(Ecuador). To this purpose, data was obtained from public entities and Google Places API. The empirical strategy
employed involved the estimation of a set of spatial econometric models. The results show that amenities have
an attractor effect on crime, thus reflecting that criminals act in places where there is a large accumulation of
people. It was also found that the presence of government entities has no effect on crime.
