This article analyzed the torture methods used by the Jalisco state police against 81 victims in the period 2008-2019. All the cases were associated with detainees for participating in alleged crimes, fights, or road incidents. The objective of this research was to identify differences between men and women in relation to the methods of physical and emotional suffering during torture. We analyzed 50 human rights recommendations to obtain a sample of 81 citizens. Only those cases with complete information on gender, torture method and municipality where the events occurred were chosen. The information was analyzed with the Chi squared test and the risk factor for cross-sectional studies was estimated through the odds ratio model. There are 7 methods of torture widely applied to men and women. In addition, significant differences were obtained in the application of asphyxia against men and sexual violence against women, although with little frequency. Finally, a risk of 6 times more of experiencing the method of suffocation was found in men, as well as of 9 times more when it occurred in the city of Guadalajara or its metropolitan area. The significant differences identified in the methods of torture perpetrated against women and men are associated with gender-based violence. The police officers who participated in this crime chose methods based on gender stereotypes, generating differentiated and specific effects on their victims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research stems from a longitudinal case study (2013-2020) observing the institutional efforts to construct a metropolitan police force in the Guadalajara area. The documentary and statistical evidence collected is analyzed from the perspective of metropolitan governance. Among the findings, it is noted that three police corporations have been officially created, but in practice, Guadalajara does not have a proper metropolitan police force. The mechanisms used correspond to the following governance models: inter-municipal agreements, vertical coordination, and the creation of metropolitan agencies. This case illustrates that vertical coordination, at the governor's initiative, has predominated regardless the political party in the State Government. In conclusion, metropolitan governance in public safety is nothing more than a label. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research is aimed at assessing if, with appropriate training, police can improve the identification of emotions expressed facially by a person versus those participants who do not receive any training. For this study we have included 11 emotions (7 basic and 4 new 'added') in order to identify if the 4 new 'added' emotions are detected in the same proportion as the basic ones. The results show that adequate training in facial identification of emotions substantially improves the cops' ability to read facial expressions or any other non-verbal behavior. However, it would be interesting to delve into the overall formation of communication (verbal, paraverbal, facial and body) and not only in the facial in order for police to have more and better knowledge in verbal communication that is applicable practice in their functions as representatives of the law.

The relationship between socio-demographic data, personality, and resilience is assessed in a sample of 348 male police intervention units (PIU) in Spain (N = 348) between 23 and 38 years (M = 26.88, SD = 3.12). The results showed that age and education, along with dominance, conscientiousness, perseverance, impulse control, and emotions were closely related to resilience. In addition, 66% of the variance in resilience would be given by four variables: age and academic level and the determination and control of emotions. The importance of some socio-demographic and individual differences as predictors of the level of resilience in specialized police professionals' variables is discussed and some ways to work are open to the study of resilience in other professional groups constantly exposed to situations of extreme adversity.

Should securitarian logic guide legislative reforms that affect the organ for criminalist investigations? Should it also affect the leadership that the Public Ministry exercises over criminal investigation? Should the organ for investigations be considered as just another police force? Or, on the contrary, does it have its own characteristics that distinguish it from the police institution? Should penal investigation be understood as part of the police service or as a phase in the penal process? Important political decisions depend on the approach adopted to respond to these questions and the conceptual precision of the different terms used in these areas, which can contribute to constructing the Social State of Law and Justice consecrated in the Constitution; or on the other hand, it can also help to strengthen the Police State that underlies all States of Law in a latent manner. In this work, some reflections are attempted from the Venezuelan context, analyzing critically the recent legislation that has introduced modifications in these matters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to identify the suicidal ideation in a group of policemen from Pereira. That is why it was conducted a cross-sectional analysis quantitative research; the ISO 30 questionnaire was given, and a survey of characterization in one hundred and thirty-seven policemen were given. Those who presented high ideation corresponded to 2.9%. The highest percentages of high ideation arose among those who lived alone, corresponded to 11.1% and those who had previous suicide attempt, corresponded to 25.0% suicide attempt, although a statistically significant association was found only in the former (p= 0,048 and rp 12.2). Despite having found ideation levels lower than those in the general population, it is recommended that the institution strengthened its intervention and support programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article examines the relationship between territorial stigmatization and police violence against popular youth in the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The main hypothesis is that there is a feedback between both processes: socially stigmatized neighborhoods suffer not only worse police protection, but widespread suspicion about their inhabitants, particularly young people, that reinforces the hostility and police violence directed toward youth. The pervasive suspicion about certain areasmakes it legitimate (or at least tolerable), in public opinion, to exercise certain everyday violent practices. While the actions of human rights organizations and the State to reduce the most serious form of police violence have had a positive impact, increasing security demands in the last decade have enhanced other forms of hostility and micro everyday violence. Among the youth, meanwhile, there is a growing appeal to the language of rights and against all forms of discrimination. For these reasons, such daily violence is considered increasingly unbearable. Based on field work studies in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, the article attempts to draw attention to these forms of violence for which there are few official records, warning of a pattern of conflicting relationships between popular youth and the police.

This paper seeks to describe the consolidation of the militarization of public security in Mexico, during the first four years of the administration led by President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012). Although this is not a new state response to the challenge of organized crime, during the second-generation transition government, the involvement of the armed forces has reached a peak, spreading to the sphere of the states through the designation of military men as public security secretariats.

In this paper, we study various groups related to the "botellón" evaluating its approach to the reality of this phenomenon and identifying their needs for intervention. Has been interviewed 4083 young people (14-25 years), 212 parents and 63 policemen from Valencia about what they mean by "botellón", the consequences associated with it, and the alternatives they think reduce this phenomenon. Police and youth refers mainly to the alcohol consume with friends. Police and parents highlighted the negative socials consequences of teenage consumption, while young people see positive consequences (socialization) and no association with performance or personal problems. The alternatives proposed by police are lower alcohol prices and to enable botellódromos, that would not solve youth excessive consumption, and a type of alternative leisure undervalued by young people. The proposals from the parents transfer their responsibility to the administration, school, etc. and together with the policemen intend to increase youth alcohol knowledge. However, the three groups should have access to this information and become aware of the bio-psycho-social consequences of this consumption. In addition, parents have to work their level of consciousness, because they are one of the direct determinants of onset and duration of consumption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sample for this investigation consisted of 80 people: 37 were beginning their studies as superior technicians in policiology, 30 were finishing their studies in preventive policiology, and 13 were active elements of a police force who agreed to participate. All individuals were living in Aguascalientes, Mexico at the moment of the study, were 18 years old or older and were, mostly, men. The semantic networks method was used for the collection of data. Three words were give as stimuli: homosexual, transsexual, and transvestite. These future policemen refer to homosexual people using disrespectful words and associate immediately a transvestite or transsexual person with being gay. Participants associate homosexuality to an illness and transvestism to a job as well as to joy and fun. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
