Safe City Award during the International Safe Cities Mission<\/strong> (MIC) in Madrid. The event brought together local government authorities and experts from across Latin America to share best practices in citizen security and governance.<\/p>\nThe award recognized the development of the National Organized Crime Indicator, launched in 2025 with the support of the USS Center for Public Policy and the School of Government.<\/p>\n
Since 2019, the Safe City Awards, organized by CIT Latam, have honored successful experiences that reduce crime and organized crime in Latin America, with the aim of replicating them in other cities through technical cooperation agreements.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis opportunity not only allows us to learn from successful experiences in other countries, but also to share the progress made at USS and project them regionally,\u201d<\/strong> said CESCRO researcher P\u00eda Greene, emphasizing the impact of applied academic work in understanding complex criminal phenomena.<\/p>\nCESCRO USS and the internationalization of knowledge<\/h3>\n
During her participation, Greene highlighted successful experiences such as Medell\u00edn\u2019s Parceros<\/em> program, focused on preventing juvenile criminal trajectories; the security model implemented in Buenos Aires; and the work of Madrid\u2019s Integrated Center for Security and Emergencies. All of these initiatives, she noted, provide valuable insights to enrich CESCRO\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\u201cComparative experience is an essential pillar of the work we do as a center. Being able to learn firsthand how security policies are designed and implemented, while at the same time showcasing what we have developed from Chile, strengthens our regional and academic projection,\u201d Greene explained.<\/p>\n
The mission also opened opportunities for collaboration with local authorities and international experts, including representatives from Medell\u00edn and Buenos Aires<\/strong>, with whom academic cooperation is expected in the context of the international congress that CESCRO and the USS Faculty of Law and Social Sciences are organizing for October in Santiago and Concepci\u00f3n.<\/p>\nFinally, Greene expressed her gratitude to USS for supporting the development of evidence-based contributions to public security policy and for enabling the expansion of networks and knowledge in Latin America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
