This webinar will be held in both English and Spanish. Translation from English to Spanish and vice versa will be provided.



The deployment of the armed forces to support domestic policing operations has been used across multiple countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. While it has supporters among those who advocate for an “iron fist” approach to high levels of crime, especially in contexts with constrained police forces, detractors express concerns about the potential for human rights abuses at the hands of soldiers trained for combat. New findings from a study in Colombia bring rigorous evidence to the debate.

In this webinar, Michael Weintraub (Universidad de los Andes) will discuss his randomized impact evaluation, carried out with coauthor Rob Blair (Brown University), of recurring, intensive military patrols to reduce crime in Cali, Colombia. Nathalie Alvarado (Inter-American Development Bank) will comment on the implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A will follow the presentation.
