Circuitos conflictivos de violencia y delincuencia del distrito metropolitano de Quito: una propuesta de focalización y priorización

Abstract

Abstract: The Ecuadorian National Police fulfills its mission of ensuring citizen safety and public order, which requires identifying areas with the highest rates of violence and crime. To do so, it must utilize information analysis methodologies to pinpoint the locations where the most serious problems are concentrated, thereby prioritizing activities aimed at improving citizen safety and the perception of safety. Therefore, a review of the theory necessary for targeting is carried out, and statistical information from the different records of criminal activity and service requests is collected and processed in order to determine the areas where activities will be prioritized.
