QUINTERO CORDERO, Sara Patricia. Citizen security and community participation in Latin America. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.29, pp.5-24.  Epub 28-Ago-2020. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.561.

In recent years, Latin American governments have been committed to formulating and implementing new forms of police management. They have applied the notions of citizen security and community participation to involve populations in plans, programs, and projects aimed at guaranteeing the security of territories, from a perspective focused on prevention rather than repression. The new models of community policing implemented in different countries of the region share certain principles. Their implementation also shares challenges and obstacles, especially concerning the active participation of the inhabitants of the territories and their response to the proposed changes.
