This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.
Can intensifying municipal and community governance displace gang rule? Urban criminal groups rule tens to hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Despite their prevalence in cities around the world, there is little information available to policymakers about effective strategies to reduce their influence. In Medellín, Colombia, gangs instill a form of order and justice in the communities in which they operate. This research tests the role and impact of an anti-gang intervention designed in partnership with the City of Medellín and community officials that aims to increase the role of the city government in providing public services and reduce the role and control of criminal gangs.
Christopher Blattman (University of Chicago) and Santiago Tobón (Universidad EAFIT) will present the results of the study, which constitutes the first anti-gang randomized trial carried out in any country. Jairo García (Defense Ministry of Colombia) will discuss the policy implications of this work. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentations.
We very much hope you will be able to join us. If there are others in your network who you believe would benefit from participating, please feel free to forward this invitation to them.
