The information on the files is in the original language of the country where the intervention was performed.

The development of this platform was made possible by Open Society Foundations funding.

The initial information upload to the Platform is based on the report "Mapping of Homicide Prevention Programs in Latin America and the Caribbean", prepared by Ignacio Cano and Emiliano Rojido from the Laboratory for the Analysis of Violence, with the collaboration of the Brazilian Forum of Public Security.
