HistoricApproaches

• Traditionallymost LatinAmericancountrieshave focusedondealing with crime with a reactive and enforcement ledapproachknownasthe“manodura”,orthemilitarisediron-fistpolicy.

• However,sincearoundtheyear2000communityapproaches

have become more common. For example in 2010 theColombian police implemented a “Quadrant Plan” dividingurban areas into territorial beats in order to adopt amorelocalisedapproach.TheChileanpoliceimplementedalsothesameplansince2000inChile.

Datacollection

Data is being collected using the methodsindicated in the test siteandamatchedcontrolsiteinChile,HondurasandPatagonia.Thevariablesofthisdatawillbeunderthethreeheadings::UrbanSetting,CommunityInvolvement,LocalGovernance.

UrbanSettingsWe link CPTED methodology to define variables according to 5fundamentalprinciples.

1. Naturalsurveillance:lighting,formalsurveillance.2. Territorial reinforcement: mural graffiti, territorial marks in

commerceandequipmentv/smarksterritorialinsquares.3. Natural access control: urban access, residential passages,

alarms.4. Maintenance:vandalismandsignage.5. Communityparticipation:neighboursorresidentstakeupspace.

CommunityInvolvement

• Residentsuseofpublicspace• Participationofneighboursinthedesignofsituationalpreventionproject• Presenceofyoungpeople

LocalGovernance

• Municipalcoordinationmeetings• Mobilesecurityintheneighbourhood• Operationalpolicing• Policestaffingintheneighbourhood

BenchmarkData

• Benchmark data will be collected for all siteswithcommunityinvolvement.

• Then the data will be analyzed to set thebenchmarks for comparison and to identifyInterventions under our 3 variables headingsandtosuperviseactioningthoseinterventions.
