IAZZETTA, Marco. Citizen security and communily policing in Argentina: a case study in Rosario. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.25, pp.92-110.  Epub Nov 05, 2019. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.387.

A process of police reform was initiated in 2013, in the Province of Santa Fe (Argentina), aimed at the sectorization of the provincial police force. To this end, three new structures were created. In this work, we analyze the design of one of these structures, the Community Police of the Province of Santa Fe. This case study, of an early experience, which took place in the city of Rosario, provides an advantaged insight into its impending fate. Thus, we maintain that, from the beginning, the Community Police of Santa Fe was conditioned by problems in its design; moreover, it was conceived as an institution subordinated to the "traditional" forms of police activity with community profiles.

Keywords : Argentina; citizen security; community police; Rosario.
