Táctico de Análisis Delictual – STAD”, realizado por el Centro de Estudios de Seguridad Ciudadana (CESC) del Instituto de Asuntos Públicos de la Universidad de Chile por encargo de la Subsecretaría de Prevención del Delito del Ministerio del Interior y Seguridad Pública durante el año 2014. . El citado estudio tuvo como principal objetivo
sistematizar y evaluar, a nivel de procesos, el funcionamiento del STAD, para lo que consideró la utilización de metodologías cuantitativas y cualitativas, las cuales permitieron detectar una serie de nudos críticos e identificar buenas prácticas en el diseño e implementación del STAD. La investigación concluye que el programa ha instalado progresivamente cambios en la gestión policial, empoderando a las unidades policiales a nivel local y generando flujos de comunicación de forma vertical y horizontal, además de instalar de forma sistemática un análisis delictual estructurado. Sin embargo, el STAD se ha instalado en una cultura organizacional que ha obstaculizado la innovación en las acciones de la policía, manteniendo una lógica de supervisión y rendición de cuentas, además de una evaluación de la gestión de las unidades en base a la disminución de los indicadores delictivos. El programa se posiciona como una oportunidad para la generación de políticas de seguridad pública donde participen diferentes estamentos del Estado, potenciando la búsqueda de soluciones a nivel local.

Specifically, this study is interested in evaluating the inter-rater reliability, concurrent validity, change sensitivity and discriminant and construct validity of this instrument. The TOP was modified to reflect the Chilean context and then applied in three successive stages: an initial application at the beginning of treatment, a retest after 1 week, and a follow up after a month. The sample was composed of 411 users of different types of drugs who were in treatment centers in the three largest regions of the country. The TOP reliability was greater than .75 for most items. Regarding concurrent validity, all the coefficients were in the expected direction and statistically significant. Change over time, as measured by Cohen's d statistic and the Reliable Change Index, was significant for most items. Users in treatment for less than 3 months showed higher alcohol consumption (odds ratio [OR] = 1.07; 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 1.01-1.13), poorer psychological health (OR = 0.94; 95% CI: 0.87-1.00), fewer days worked (0.56; 0.95-0.99) and poorer housing conditions (OR = 2.76; 95% CI: 1.22-6.23) than did their counterparts who had more than 3 months of treatment. Researchers extracted six components with eigenvalues greater than one, accounting for 69.0% of the total variance. In general, the Chilean TOP is a reliable and valid mechanism to monitor outcomes of people treated for problems with drug and alcohol abuse in Chile, but further validation work is required in some dimensions.

The study included five countries in the region: Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Mexico, and Venezuela. All of them were countries where there was evidence of possible abuses. The study sought to produce a common methodology, common indicators and comparable data that would permit the analysis and understanding of the use of lethal force in these countries.
This new study builds on the efforts of the last and incorporates three new countries: Chile, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Our objective, once again, was to develop common indicators and a shared methodology to monitor lethal force in the participating countries in a way that would allow international comparisons.
