This paper analyzes the experience of information sharing, coordination, and
integration of actions of the civil and military police forces in the state of Minas
Gerais, Brazil, in the context of the IGESP program. The IGESP was based on the
introduction of information management systems and organizational changes akin to those
associated with the CompStat system originally developed in New York City. The evidence
points to a causal effect of the IGESP on crime. The most conservative estimates
indicate a reduction of 23 percent in violent property crimes due to the introduction of
the program. There is also evidence that the IGESP is associated with improved police
response, measured by apprehension of weapons and clearance rates. We present one of the
few estimates available with a clear identification strategy of the impact of
CompStat-like programs. The results suggest that coordination of actions and efficient
use of information may constitute first-order factors in the fight against crime.

This paper explores the experience of information sharing, coordination, and integration of actions of the Civil and Military Polices in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, in the context of the IGESP program. The IGESP is based on the introduction of information management systems and organizational changes akin to those associated with COMPSTAT. All the evidence presented points to a causal effect of the IGESP on crime. The most conservative estimates indicate a reduction of 24% in property crimes and 13% in personal crimes. There is also evidence that the IGESP is associated with improved police response, measured by apprehension of weapons and clearance rates. We present one of the first set of causal estimates - with a clear identification strategy - of the impact of COMPSTAT-like programs. The results suggest that the coordination and informational gains represented by the program may constitute a first-order factor in a successful policy for fighting crime.

La clase política y la población en general siguen creyendo que el castigo es un instrumento eficaz para la lucha contra el delito. Sin embargo investigaciones actuales sugieren que esta medida no sólo ha sido y sigue siendo inútil en la lucha contra el delito, sino que también es el estímulo más poderoso. De otro lado las respuestas más efectivas que se han dado y se sugieren para la lucha contra el delito es la garantía y satisfacción de los derechos sociales. ; Politicians and the general public still believe that punishment is an effective tool in the fight against crime. But current research suggests that this measure not only has been and is still useless in the fight against crime, but also is the most powerful stimulus. On the other hand the most effective responses that have occurred and are suggested to the fight against crime is the assurance and satisfaction of social.

The possibilities now offered by the technological advances in the fight against crime are far from negligible. "New technologies" means less a reality than the expression of a phenomenom, that of a contemporary acceleration of scientific and technical progress and democratization of its use especially in relation to criminal proceedings. The study of the use of new technologies in criminal proceedings shows that, notwithstanding their increased presence in the UK, philosophies guiding this introduction in the two States are similar, and following the principle of congruent forms, similar are the drifts. They have become the optimal tool of the security policy implemented since the 2000s. Fundamental rights are central in the reflection on criminal procedure ; their confrontation with the new technologies is essential. In This context it seemed appropriate to put the issue of the dignity of the human being at the heart of the debates concerning the use of new technologies in the fight against crime. This right that irrigates all the other fundamental right can be used as guideline to determine which derogations are acceptable. Nevertheless as a matrix and absolute principle, it is necessary to define it and use it only as a subsidiary safeguard. ; Les possibilités aujourd'hui offertes par les progrès techniques dans le cadre de la lutte contre la délinquance sont loin d'être négligeables. les "nouvelles technologies" désignent moins une réalité tangible que l'expression d'un phénomène, celui de l'accélération contemporaine du progrès scientifique et technique et la démocratisation de son utilisation notamment dans le cadre de la procédure pénale. L'étude de l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans la procédure pénale démontre que, nonobstant leur présence plus importante au Royaume-Uni, les philosophies guidant cette introduction dans les deux États sont similaires, de même que, parallélisme des formes oblige, similaires en sont les dérives. elles sont devenues l'outil par excellence de la politique ...

L'étude de l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans la procédure pénale démontre que, nonobstant leur présence plus importante au Royaume-Uni, les philosophies guidant cette introduction dans les deux États sont similaires, de même que, parallélisme des formes oblige, similaires en sont les dérives. elles sont devenues l'outil par excellence de la politique sécuritaire mis en œuvre depuis les années 2000. Les droits fondamentaux étant au cœur de la réflexion en matière de procédure pénale, leur confrontation avec les nouvelles technologies est indispensable. Dans cette perspective il nous a semblé opportun de replacer la question de la dignité de la personne humaine au centre des débats concernant l'utilisation des nouvelles technologies dans la lutte contre la délinquance. Ce droit qui irrigue l'ensemble des autres droits fondamentaux peut être utilisé comme ligne directrice pour déterminer quelles dérogations sont acceptables. Néanmoins en tant que principe matriciel et absolu, il convient d'en, définir le contenu et de ne l'utiliser que subsidiairement. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans un combat actuel, celui de la défense de la liberté contre ceux qui voudrait placer la sécurité au premier rang ; au premier rang de nos vies comme au premier rang des droits fondamentaux.

En este artículo se analiza el entorno de inseguridad y violencia asociadas con el narcotráfico en la frontera de México con Estados Unidos y las acciones emprendidas por el gobierno federal para desarticular a las organizaciones criminales que pelean el control del mercado y el acceso a los cruces fronterizos para la introducción de drogas a Estados Unidos, partiendo de la hipótesis de que la violencia e inseguridad han estado presentes desde mucho antes en la frontera, pero las agencias responsables del control fronterizo y la seguridad son parte del problema al asociarse con las bandas criminales, mientras que éstas han fortalecido su presencia echando raíces entre sectores de la sociedad fronteriza. ; The aim of this paper is to analyze the environment of insecurity and violence associated with drug trafficking on the U.S.-Mexican border, and the actions taken by the federal government to dismantle criminal organizations that fight to control the market and access to border crossing points for the introduction of drugs into the United States. The assumption is that violence and insecurity have existed on the border for a long time , but that the agencies responsible for border control and security are now part of the problem because of their association withcriminal gangs, which in turn have strengthened their presence by taking root among sections of border society.
