Since 2002, the Institute for Peace Promotion and Injury/Violence Prevention (CISALVA) at the Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia and the Colombia Program at Georgetown University have developed and implemented 21 epidemiologically based municipal crime observatories in intermediate-sized municipalities in Colombia. These crime observatories serve as monitoring centres that provide low cost, geo-referenced methods of data collection and analysis, which allow cities to develop more responsive policies and prevention programmes and enhance governance. This article focuses on the methodology employed and lessons learned that may be applicable to similar settings. Worth noting within the results was a significant decrease in homicides after the first year of the programme. Whether or not such results could be attributed to the method or to the nature of the interventions and policy initiatives stemming from it remains open to conjecture.
自2002年以来，哥伦比亚卡利市瓦尔大学的和平促进与伤害/暴力预防研究所（CISALVA）以及乔治敦大学的哥伦比亚项目，在哥伦比亚中等规模城市开发并实施了21个基于流行病学的市级犯罪观察站。这些犯罪观察站作为监测中心，提供低成本、地理定位的数据收集和分析方法，使城市能够制定更具针对性的政策和预防方案，并加强治理。本文重点介绍所采用的方法以及可能适用于类似情况的经验教训。值得注意的是，在该项目开展的第一年之后，凶杀案数量显著下降。这些结果是否可归因于该方法，或者归因于由此产生的干预措施和政策倡议的性质，仍有待推测。
