CONVICUBO: Methodology for Strengthening Coexistence and Citizen Security
Synopsis
Coexistence establishes the foundation for the responsible exercise of freedom and respect for dignity and human rights. There is an intrinsic connection between coexistence and citizen security, as the latter contributes to harmonizing behaviors that are contrary to coexistence. Both coexistence and citizen security work together to promote a culture of legality and democratic values. This synergy is essential for preventing crime, protecting citizens, and reducing social and state costs.
The construction of coexistence and citizen security aims to transform environments and improve living conditions in communities to prevent disruptive and criminal behaviors while fostering a culture of legality and solidarity. To address these challenges, the CONVICUBO methodology has been developed to enhance coexistence and citizen security through data collection and analysis, identifying key variables that enable the design of policies and programs that address various threats to coexistence and security.
The objective of this chapter is to highlight the importance of data collection and analysis in the design of policies and strategies to improve coexistence and citizen security. The implementation, results, evaluation, and adjustments of the CONVICUBO methodology in various communities will be analyzed, including homeless populations, victims of conflict, properties across different socioeconomic strata, municipalities, and intermediate cities. This tool gathers information that facilitates the analysis of detailed data, providing insights that aid in the design of more effective interventions.
In conclusion, the relevance of identifying key criminal variables based on the information collected in microterritories is emphasized for the design of social policies and programs. The importance of data in identifying criminal patterns within different variables in microterritories is highlighted. This allows
for the improvement of police service quality, crime combat, and the promotion of safer coexistence and civic culture.
