In order to achieve public reassurance, police forces all over the world are undertaking actions to involve citizens in crime prevention through community policing. In parallel, technological platforms were deployed in order to share crime-related information with the public and to support the development of problem-solving strategies. However, the impact of these initiatives in terms of crime reduction and perception has not been sufficiently investigated yet. Furthermore, up to now, no previous studies compared the effectiveness between the traditional approach of preventive patrolling and technology-based crime prevention solutions. Therefore, we present a study design which aims at assessing the effectiveness of the two aforementioned crime prevention measures. The goal is to evaluate and compare their effects over the local criminal activity and citizen's safety perception measured by Fear of Crime (FOC) and Perceived Risk of Victimization (PRV) constructs. Preliminary results show a rather low level of FOC across the whole sample, paired by a high level of PRV. Furthermore, potential explanatory background factors for the previous constructs have been identified and will be explored in future work. Details: Association for Information Systems, 2016. 12p.

Author: Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) Title: Como evitar el delito urbano? el Programa de Alto Dedicacion Operativa en la nueva Policia uruguaya Summary: Robbery with violence is one of the main crimes that afflicts the region, and possibly the one that contributes the most to citizen insecurity. An effective police strategy to prevent it is the police deployment in hot spots, that is to say in places and times where there is a greater criminal concentration. The objective is to deter crime where there are particularly attractive opportunities to commit it. Although there is a robust scientific evidence base showing the effectiveness of these programs in the northern countries, their diffusion in Latin America and the Caribbean is limited and still incipient. In 2016, the Ministry of the Interior of Uruguay launched the High Dedication Operative Program (PADO), a preventive patrol police program focused on hot spots. This book examines this program in depth. First, it contextualizes the PADO within the framework of the Uruguayan police reform. Second, it explores the background of criminal analysis in the National Police of Uruguay and the main transformations that led to the creation of the PADO. Finally, it presents the results of the first impact evaluation of the program, which shows a 22% reduction in the incidence rate of robbery in the city of Montevideo.
