N2  - Problem. The so-called "fleteo" (robbing bank clients of their money just after their withdrawal of funds from their accounts) is seen as a danger because there is no rational and contingent scheme for decision-making with respect to public security. <br><br>METHODS. In the face of this situation, it was necessary to identify the "fleteo" features as a hazard, a criminal risk against public security, through theories of risk sociology and social construction of reality. For this purpose, the ideal type methodology was used as a guide for collection and analysis of data, for which diverse techniques were applied such as documentary consultation, interview, survey, focus groups, case-by-case analysis and conceptual ideogram. <br><br>RESULTS. This has allowed the recognition and characterization of "fleteo" as a criminal risk, a fragment of reality with which intelligence is concerned. And, finally, some harms to public security were identified. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS. Generally, the risk theory is not conceived as applied to public security. For this reason, criminal intelligence is presented as a discipline in charge of anticipating criminal risks against public security. This would help reduce uncertainty during decision-making and calculate the damages intended to be prevented against public security.<p />  <p>Language: es</p>
