Abstract

The general intention of this study is to reconstruct the community organization in terms of crime prevention in the Urbanization 480 years of Coro. As part of the theoretical context, there are the postulates on community organization of Ware (1986), as well as participation, crime prevention, citizen security, among others. For this, the socio-critical paradigm is assumed as a method, the systematization of experiences based on the postulates of Jara (1994) and among the techniques, observation, semi-structured interview, field work and as instruments the pattern of observation, the interview guide and the notebook for recording notes. The social actors of the present investigation will be the inhabitants of the Urbanization 480 years of Coro, the personnel of the Falcón Crime Prevention Directorate, the personnel of the National Experimental University of Security and the researcher. For their part, five (5) people were selected as key informants, taking as criteria for their selection that they be members of the community, among spokespersons and inhabitants of the community, as well as their reliability. It should be noted that with the completion of the study it was concluded that the community organization in terms of crime prevention in the Urbanization 480 years of Coro presents weaknesses that make it difficult for this process to be carried out adequately, thus leading to the effective execution of the activities and, therefore, to the achievement of satisfactory results. One of these weaknesses is the lack of planning of the activities as a result of the little knowledge about the processes of community organization.
