The ICPC showcases its expertise in criminal analysis at an international seminar

On October 1, 2025, Blas Pascal University (UBP) hosted an online international seminar titled “Criminal Analysis for Citizen Security: Latin American Experiences.” During the event, Óscar Figueroa Ulloa, Strategic Consultant for Latin America at the International Centre for the Prevention of Crime, presented the approaches and tools used by the Centre to strengthen crime analysis and prevent violence in urban areas.

The seminar brought together public safety experts and academic researchers to foster cross-sector dialogue and share effective practices. Speakers included Commissioner General Andrés Cambronero, Director General of Information Technology and Statistical Analysis for the Córdoba Provincial Police in Argentina. Jorge Luis Jofré, Director of the Degrees in Citizen Safety and Forensic Sciences and Criminal Investigation at the UBP, also participated in the discussions.

These exchanges reinforced regional efforts in urban safety and highlighted the critical role of data in the development of informed public policy. 

A contribution aligned with ICPC’s mission

The UBP joined the ICPC’s international network in 2024. By participating in this seminar, the Centre reaffirms its commitment to supporting international cooperation and promoting prevention as a key pillar for citizen safety. This collaboration also underscored a shared dedication to enhancing safety and quality of life in communities across Latin America through education, research, and international cooperation. 

ICPC participated in a webinar on the prevention of violence and radicalization

On June 29, the ICPC was pleased to participate in the webinar “Preventing Social Polarization and Radicalization in Education and Beyond” organized by its partner the Canadian Municipal Network on Crime Prevention (CMNCP). 

During this webinar, nearly sixty participants, such as practicioners, school professionals and members of the RMCPC community, held a discussion on”the role of education professionals in preventing social polarization and radicalization leading to violence”. The purpose of this webinar was to present an overview of the study’s main findings  and the recommendations that arose from the 2-year project funded by Public Safety Canada on “Examining the role of school professionals in preventing social polarization and radicalization leading to violence”. As a result, a number of issues relating to the prevention of radicalization, violence, social polarization and cyberspace in Canadian schools were addressed.   

This event was an opportunity for the ICPC to learn more about international practices regarding the prevention of radicalization leading to violence, as well as issues that people working in schools may encounter. These were presented by CPN-PREV, CIVIX, Strong Cities Network and Foundation for a path forward.
