In Colombia, as in the United States, homicide occurs disproportionately among urban residents (1,2). Homicide rates in the city of Cali, Colombia (1994 population: 1,776,436), increased fivefold from 1985 through 1992, reaching levels of 100 per 100,000 persons. Because of this increase, in 1992 the city of Cali established the Development, Security, and Peace Program (DESEPAZ) to implement a series of strategies to prevent violence and improve security among the residents of Cali. An important element of this program was the establishment of a surveillance system to enable characterization of patterns and determinants of homicide to provide information to decision makers for formulating policies and programs. This report summarizes findings from this system for January 1993-May 1994.
在哥伦比亚，如同在美国一样，城市居民中发生的凶杀案比例过高（1,2）。哥伦比亚卡利市（1994年人口：1,776,436）的凶杀率在1985年至1992年间增长了四倍，达到了每10万人中有100起的水平。由于这一增长，卡利市于1992年设立了发展、安全与和平计划（DESEPAZ），以实施一系列预防暴力和改善卡利市居民安全状况的策略。该计划的一个重要组成部分是建立一个监测系统，以便能够描述凶杀案的模式和决定因素，为决策者制定政策和计划提供信息。本报告总结了该系统在1993年1月至1994年5月期间的调查结果。
