AGUIRRE SALA, Jorge Francisco. THE APPLICATION OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN COMMUNITY CRIME PREVENTION: THE CASES OF GEOREFERENCING IN MONTERREY, MEXICO. rev.relac.int.estrateg.segur. [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.2, pp.239-270. ISSN 1909-3063.  https://doi.org/10.18359/ries.1878.

The aim is to present the support of the Internet in community crime prevention. The general theoretical framework establishes that the theory of community prevention is a summary of situational and environmental prevention. In addition, because it is a community issue, it is necessary to add the concept of governance. Internet support focuses on community building in criminal georeferencing. The reference framework in this study is the Mexican National Digital Strategy displaying prevention with the help of electronic social networks. The method and the case study is the qualitative analysis of Internet use in the urban area of Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The sample takes only three examples that were initially developed for the area. The most important variables are the types of criminal alerts and validation of electronic information. As a result some assessments and recommendations are obtained. Some reflections on the reactive role or proximity police in the state of Nuevo León could exert on the comparative basis of the Colombian National Police, the Carabineros Police and the National Civil Police of El Salvador are also made.
