Zonas Peligrosas: The Challenge of Creating Safe Neighborhoods in
Central America examines indicators of orderliness and security in
El Salvador, shows how policies and programs based on
disorganization theory have been used, and why they might not make
Salvadoran urban dwellers safer. In Latin America, these
prescriptions form the basis for what has become known as "citizen
security" policy. Just as in disorganization theory, citizen
security emphasizes strong social cohesion and expectations for
action on the part of neighbors and civil society. Mimicking the
methodology of disorganization theorists from the Chicago School,
Tom Hare conducted four neighborhood studies in the San Salvador
metropolitan area. Mixed methods, including two hundred original
survey-interviews, were used to create a rich description of each
case. The cases were selected in order to compare and contrast the
social order in neighborhoods with varying levels of security and
physical and demographic makeup.
