SSR theory and practice are criticized for being overly focused on traditional conflict and post-conflict settings and for being unable to adjust to unconventional settings marked by chronic crime and terrorism. SSR tends to be disproportionately focused on national institutions and less amenable to engaging at the subnational scale. Drawing on the experiences of so-called ?citizen security? measures in cities across Latin America and the Caribbean, this paper offers some opportunities for renewing and revitalizing SSR. The emphasis of citizen security interventions on multiple forms of insecurity, data-driven and evidence-informed prevention, the promotion of social cohesion and efficacy and designing crime prevention into the social and built environment are all insights that can positively reinforce comprehensive SSR measures in the 21st century. 606 $aDevelopment studies$2bicssc 606 $aUrban communities$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 606 $aSecurity services$2bicssc 606 $aCriminology: legal aspects$2bicssc 615 7$aDevelopment studies 615 7$aUrban communities 615 7$aSociology 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aSecurity services 615 7$aCriminology: legal aspects 700 $aMuggah$b Robert$4aut$0975053 702 $ade Boer$b John$4aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910372744803321 996 $aSecurity Sector Reform and Citizen Security$92220185 997 $aUNINA
