On June 6-11, the Center for Hemispheric Defense Studies is co-sponsoring with the Institute of the Americas an innovative participatory seminar on “Citizens and Crime: Engaging Citizens in Community Security.”
The seminar, to be held in La Jolla, California, will examine models in Latin America and elsewhere that involve citizens in the struggle against criminality.
Emphasis will be placed on the need to protect citizens while they engage in anti-crime efforts and models for organizing and maintaining group efforts.
Initiatives in Mexico, Colombia, and Chile will be studied.
Initiative leaders will facilitate discussion with participating community organizers involved in development, security and human rights; security professionals; journalists; and public sector advisors on security and community development.
For further information, please contact the Institute of the Americas.
