Abstract

CARDENAS-GUZMAN, Luis Hernán. Criminality behavior in Colombia, 2012. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2013, vol.55, n.3, pp.11-33. ISSN 1794-3108.

A descriptive statistical analysis is made in the face of offenses recorded throughout the Colombian territory by the National Police in 2012, by means of a comparison of those with greater social impact between 2011 and 2012. The increasing civilian complaints, together with the awareness and taking cognizance of crimes by the authorities, reveal a new course for the citizen culture within the framework of a popular support and coresponsibility model. Thus, the increase seen in the statistical record shows a transformation in the citizenauthority relationship resulting in a greater influx of complaints and a greater institutional coverage nationwide with respect to violations of criminal law through the strengthening of that technological capacity having permitted their recording and attention in real time.

Keywords : Criminality; violence; homicide/murder/manslaughter; complaint; theft.
