The study focused on the legal, psychological, and social analysis of the power detention process. The research aimed to identify the most relevant factors and their interrelations in the consolidation of this phenomenon, considering institutional dynamics, psychological perceptions, and social implications. The method of Criteria Importance through Correlation was used, employing a thorough theoretical review and case analysis of relevant examples that demonstrated different scenarios of power detention in diverse political and social contexts. The results highlighted that institutional weakness, normative gaps, and social crises favor the detention of power, while its psychological and social effects include distrust towards institutions, citizen discontent, and the erosion of social cohesion. Additionally, common patterns were identified in the analyzed processes, such as the strategic use of legitimizing discourses and the instrumentalization of state resources. It was concluded that strengthening democratic structures, promoting a culture of transparency, and designing policies that foster citizen participation is essential to mitigate these impacts and prevent their recurrence. This work offered a novel approach by applying a quantitative method to evaluate a complex phenomenon from an interdisciplinary perspective, combining mathematical tools with the analysis of qualitative and contextual variables.
