Utilizing the sociology of science as a conceptual framework, we conceptualize the scientific community in Chilean criminology as a network. We collected data from open repositories and sources about a group of researchers affiliated with academic institutions and think tanks in the field to describe the current state of this epistemic community (N=62). Employing Social Network Analysis, we explore the co-affiliation ties based on shared research topics to describe actors, their characteristics and clusters that shape different scholarly communities in Chilean criminology. As key findings, we point out the following elements: a) Low density between actors in the broader scientific community network; (b) The prominence of criminal law in the training of many researchers in criminology. Finally, (c) the existence of specialized clusters (correction studies, juvenile justice, etc.) and also emergent areas such as crimmigration. We conclude that the Chilean criminology community is moving from an amateur stage, in the sociology of science terms, towards a professionalization stage as a consolidated scientific discipline.

We use the sociology of scientific knowledge as a conceptual framework to apply to the Chilean criminology development stage. We analyse the criminological community using social network analysis based on the co-affiliation networks of researchers (N=62) affiliated with research centres, think tanks and universities producing criminological knowledge. We describe the actors involved in the network of researchers and identify the clusters shaping the main areas of the country’s production and dissemination of criminological research. The findings reveal a low density between scholars in the network; the existence of central research topics related to citizen security and criminal law; the presence of clusters (for example, juvenile justice and prison studies, among others), and areas that are emerging in the production of criminological knowledge in Chile (cybercrime, crimmigration). We conclude t...

We conclude that criminology in Chile is still in the amateur stage. However, there are signs of growing professionalisation in the discipline.

We examine these frameworks based on theory and analysis of administrative data and surveys from the Americas Barometer 2014 (N = 34,798 respondents T = 22 countries). Findings show that respondents with higher confidence in their government also indicate higher ratings of trust in the police. Similarly, trust is higher among individuals who had not experienced victimization or bribery or who anticipated faster police response times. At the country level, our results suggest that trust is negatively related to economic development but positively related to rule of law. We draw on these findings to outline an integrative model that combines both institutional and ...

El análisis contempla dos dimensiones: las encuestas de victimización y el registro de estadísticas policiales basado en denuncia. A partir de ahí, el trabajo se centra en las principales características de la producción de información sobre violencia y criminalidad y del acceso a las fuentes, procediendo a una revisión de los aspectos críticos de la comparación regional.
Latin America, the world's most criminogenic region from the perspective of intentional homicide,... more Latin America, the world's most criminogenic region from the perspective of intentional homicide, is also the region with the highest perception of criminal insecurity. This situation negatively affects the quality of life of its inhabitants, influencing their decisions on the use of certain public spaces or the possibility of avoiding them due to the fear of being victims of a crime. This comparative analysis of three cases of intervention through situational prevention strategies and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design at the residential level, both in Chile and Honduras, seeks to establish the existence of a relationship between the socio-spatial modification of the environment and the impact generated from the implementation of these strategies in the levels of victimization, on the perception of insecurity and on the degree of social cohesion of the communities with which we work directly. To achieve this objective, a section was first developed with the main theoretical backgrounds related to Urban Security and the methodological proposal to measure the impact generated by situational prevention strategies and CPTED on intervened areas of the countries already mentioned. Then, the methodology used in this research is presented, which consists of three case studies with similar characteristics to each other, where each of these areas will also have their respective control group. It also includes the information collection techniques used, the design of the samples and the type of research to which this study corresponds. The analysis of the data allowed progress towards preliminary results, which are obtained mainly through the use of descriptive statistics, that is, by crossing variables relevant to the objectives of the research. While for the elaboration of conclusive results, inferential statistics were used through "chi-square", which led to the generation of statistically significant associations between variables, thus allowing evidence to be available impact generated by situational prevention methods and CPTED on the urban safety of the localities involved in both Chile and Honduras.

Para isso, foram sistematizadas informações de um grupo de oito indicadores dos 12 países da sub-região, a partir das principais fontes de informação oficial: homicídio, lesões, violência sexual, roubo contra pessoas, furto, roubo com invasão, furto de veículos e sequestro. O trabalho não pretende apenas oferecer uma revisão das tendências dos países da América do Sul, mas também discutir sobre a relevância da produção de informações para as políticas de segurança pública.

More than half of the 20 most violent countries in the world are located in this region (UNDP 2013). Homicide, robbery, assault and other violent crimes are regular elements of urban life in almost all capitals as well as major urban conglomerates. Although increasing levels of criminal activity have impacted communities and politicians since the 1980s and 1990s, there is little understanding of its roots and general consequences.
Latin America is compounded by a wide array of contexts that cannot allow for a unified description of violence and crime. Each country is facing a kaleidoscopic phenomenon that has been minimally researched or analyzed and has been poorly tackled. There is one issue, however,
that is shared by all Latin Americans: Fear of crime.

Lo anterior permite la identificación de sus habitantes con el otro y a la vez con su propio entorno, de modo que la ciudad, el espacio público y la ciudadanía son elementos que están estrechamente relacionados.

Su objetivo es caracterizar los principales aspectos del temor, además de analizar los factores asociados a este, de acuerdo a las particularidades de las regiones de Chile a partir de seis grandes zonas.

Frente a la preocupación que provoca el delito y la ansiedad que genera la inseguridad, las políticas de seguridad implementadas han derivado en promover el énfasis en el control y la sanción como la principal herramienta para afrontar el problema, mirada que también ha permeado desde y hacia la sociedad civil.
De este modo, el presente documento realiza una revisión conceptual acerca del énfasis punitivo en las políticas de seguridad, principalmente en torno a la predisposición de la sociedad civil sobre el tema y como ello ha incidido en la formulación de iniciativas que aborden la violencia y criminalidad desde la complejidad que plantea. A su vez señala los principales desafíos para las políticas de prevención y participación en este contexto.
