First International Summit on Scientific Criminal Analysis

Carabineros de Chile (the Chilean police) and the Center for Analysis and Modeling of Security (CEAMOS) of the Universidad de Chile, will organize the First International Summit on Scientific Criminal Analysis from April 21 to 27, 2014 which will bring together the main actors in this field from both our own and foreign countries.

This event will be held at the Centro Cultural de la Escuela de Carabineros in Santiago, Chile. Registration is free, but enrolment in website is necessary  to participate.

The objective of this meeting, according to the General Director of Carabineros, Gustavo Gonzalez Jure, is the diffusion of scientific, technical and methodological knowledge implemented by the institution, at the international level, to address the dynamic of the continual evolution of criminal activity at the international level, and also to convene relevant international actors on public security matters.

For the director of CEAMOS, Raúl Manasevich, this meeting will produce feedback on the various investigations that are underway at present. “This is the first approach from the hard sciences to public security and we are working together with Carabineros on interesting projects for which they provide us with the data,” says Manasevich, emphatizing that “Through these mathematical models it is possible to analyze the conduct of the offenders and anticipate their next attacking points”.

Attending the meeting will be Paul Brantingham, from Simon Fraser University (Canada), Marcus Felson, from Texas State University (USA), Shane Johnson and Richard Wortley from Jill Dando Institute, University College of London (UK), Ernesto Savona, from the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore (Italy), Michael Townsley, from Griffith University (Australia), Lawrence Sherman from the University of Cambridge (UK), among others experts in this field.

This activity is supported by the Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) and the Institute for Complex Engineering Systems (ISCI) of the University of Chile.
