SANDOVAL GARRIDO, Luis Eduardo; VELASQUEZ MONROY, César Alfonso  and  RIANO BERMUDEZ, Laura Carolina. Network police governance to control homicide hotspots in Bogota. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.41, pp.245-270.  Epub Jan 01, 2023. ISSN 1900-6586.  https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.1013.

The article explores the potential of networked police governance. To do so, it uses network analysis to design a simulated network of reinforcements among community policing patrols, by urban sectors or CAI, based on the observed network data existing in 2016. The simulation focuses on the 2016 homicide hotspots and it is proposed to assess whether it could prevent their expansion or multiplication in 2017. The simulated network is shown to control and potentially reduce hotspots, despite the urban and socioeconomic contexts that support them and the scarce police resource.

Keywords : CAI; crime prevention; homicide; hotspots; network analysis; police governance.
