City & Security

by Franz Vanderschueren, Andrés Suárez, Juma Assiago & Ivett Tinoco

Communities and citizens' rights in security co-production addresses the complexity of the city and its different forms of insecurity. Since violence and crime find specific correlation within each city. In this book, experts from various regions and disciplines analyse these phenomena in the light of the debates and proposals that the United Nations offered during Habitat III and the IX World Urban Forum, bringing international practices in the area of prevention and citizens' rights. The book opens up a space for experts to study the complex challenge of security- from a multidisciplinary proposal- in four aspects. These (i) the state of the perspectives on security and insecurity, (ii) the different approaches to address urban violence, (iii) prevention for particular groups and, finally, (iv) a vision of urban space and its relation to violence.
