Description
Summary:This paper examines the fundamentals and methodologies of the territoriality doctrine as a crime prevention strategy in residential areas. This brief review is contrasted with physico spatial characteristics of the "crime zones" of Santiago's Metropolitan Area (FONDECYT Project 1930796). The first stage of such contrast allows us already to state the need for conceptual as well as methodological adjustments and perhaps a deeper doctrinal review so as to determine the suitability of eventual "territorial" designs in the case of Chile.
