摘要：In Ecuador, according to reports, most of robbery modalities constantly decreased between 2009 and 2015. Homicide rate rose from 1999 to 2009 but decreased from 2010 to 2017 around 65%, from 18.74 to 5.78. It was the only case of this kind in the Americas. We described the nature of the studied proximity strategy and evaluated it before-after through exhaustive control groups. For so, we measured correlations between crimes decreasing and Euclidean radius around Communitarian police headquarters during the period when policies were implemented. We found that police proximity and related strategies are visibly associated with crime decreasing, but other contexts could also be involved. We suggest studying the Ecuadorian experience in depth as an important example of crime reduction.
