Source text - Spanish F. Metodologías para elaboración de diagnósticos
1. Diagnósticos situacionales
Diagnóstico
“Es una forma de investigación en que se describen y explican problemas (…). Es elegir un problema, recoger información sobre él, y analizar a fondo sus causas y consecuencias (…). Es analizar sus relaciones con otros problemas, los conflictos, etc. (…)”. Astorga & Biji (1990).
Diagnosticar no es una actividad exclusiva de ciertos profesionales, como los trabajadores sociales, sociólogos, economistas, médicos, etc., sino que todas las personas e instituciones necesitan hacerlo; porque es imposible actuar eficazmente sobre una realidad que se desconoce.
Dicho la anterior, entenderemos por diagnóstico de factores de riesgo social y situacional al acopio de información, con participación de diferentes actores de la comunidad, sobre problemas que, directa o indirectamente, generan inseguridad en el entorno.
¿Por qué es importante que el Comité Municipal de Prevención de la Violencia realice diagnósticos con participación comunitaria?
Un adecuado diagnóstico, sobre todo, sí es con participación de la comunidad, facilita:
· Identificar los problemas de violencia y delincuencia presentes en una comunidad;
· Distinguir los factores de riesgo social y situacional que amenazan a la comunidad;
· Establecer los recursos socio-comunitarios de los que se dispone;
· Planificar las acciones preventivas a desarrollar, las cuales, por estar basadas en información confiable, tenderán a ser más eficaces;
· Evaluar y ponderar apropiadamente los resultados de las intervenciones, teniendo como referente el estado previo a las mismas.
2. Diagnóstico de incidencias delictivas de cada localidad
¿Qué es un diagnóstico de incidencias delictivas?
Es una recopilación de distintos datos sobre los hechos delincuenciales que han tenido lugar en una zona específica, para efectos de análisis.
Típicamente, los datos recopilados son los días, las horas y los lugares en los que ocurren estos hechos en un período de tiempo; y siempre que sea posible, se registran los móviles y otras condiciones en las que han tenido lugar los hechos, tales como el tipo de víctima, medios empleados para la agresión o delito, etc. Esta información es de uso cotidiano de todas las fuerzas policiales en el mundo, es decir es un insumo imprescindible para su trabajo. Su obtención será más fácil, cuanto mayor integración y confianza exista entre las autoridades municipales y policiales.
Translation - English F. Methodologies for diagnostic development
1. Situational analysis
Diagnosis
"It's a form of research in which problems are described and explained (...). To choose a problem, gather information about it, and analyze its causes and consequences (...). To analyze the relationship with other problems, conflicts, etc.. (…)”. Astorga & Biji (1990).
Diagnosis is not an exclusive activity of professionals such as social workers, sociologists, economists, doctors, etc.., but every person and institutions need to do it, because it is impossible to respond effectively to an unknown reality.
Having said the above, we will assume as diagnosis of social and situational risk factors to the recollection of information, with the participation of different community actors on issues that generate uncertainty in the environment, directly or indirectly.
Why is it important that the Violence Prevention Municipal Committee perform diagnostics with community participation?
A proper diagnosis, especially, if involves the community, provides:
· Identification of violence and crime problems present in a community;
· Distinguishing social and situational risk factors that threaten the community;
· Establishing social and community resources that are available;
· Plan the preventive actions to develop, which for being based on reliable information, tend to be more effective;
· Properly evaluate and assess the results of interventions, taking as reference its previous state.
2. Diagnosis of criminal incidents in each locality
What is the diagnosis of criminal incidents?
It is a compilation of different data on criminal events that have taken place in a specific area, for analysis purposes.
Typically, the data collected are days, times and places where these events occur over a period of time, and whenever possible, the reasons and other conditions in which the events took place are registered, such as the victim type, means used for aggression or offence, etc. This information is of daily use to all police forces in the world, i.e. it is an essential input for their work. His collection will be easier, the greater integration and confidence between municipal authorities and police.
