Proximity Police evaluation in Santa Fe city

Abstract
Public security policies need to be evaluated to demonstrate its effectiveness. One of the most widespread practices is proximity policing, which coexists with classical managerial approaches, aimed to find “problem-oriented policing” solutions. One way to assess an intervention is Bowers and Johnson´s (2003) method of measuring the displacement and diffusion of benefits. We pursue two objectives: to know if this method can be applied in the context of Santa Fe, and; to know if this methodology is useful in assessing the effectiveness of proximity policing. Data were taken from the beginning of the strategy in the neighborhood "7 Jefes" (area A). Comparing the results a year earlier and a year later, these results have been weighted with possible displacement neighborhoods object (or diffusion of benefits) (area B) and control area (area C).
