Vehicle License Plate Recognition (VLPR) identifies the exact vehicle license plate number based on frame sequencing (video) or still images. VLPR systems must operate in real time or with the shortest possible processing time. The VLPR structure generally comprises four processing steps: image acquisition, plate detection, segmentation, and character recognition.

The role of urbanism and architecture in building pleasant environments that foster conviviality and a sense of safety has been developed as an area of violence prevention.

The fundamental premise of the Restorative Justice methodology in criminal justice is to understand crime as a violation of people and relationships, and not just a breach of the law.
Restorative Justice models can be grouped into three broad categories: peacemaking circles, conferences, and victim-offender mediation.

Electronic Monitoring of Offenders programs use different technologies to monitor the location of people who have been convicted and are serving non-custodial sanctions (not incarcerated).

Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS) tags are one of the security measures commonly used by retailers to prevent the theft of products and packaged goods, and can be of different types: large, plastic, attached to clothing, or small magnetic strips with barcodes attached to the products.
EAS systems generally operate with three components: the electronic tag, detector doors (usually located at store exits), and a control unit. The tags trigger an alarm if they pass through the detector doors before being removed or disabled.

The use of surveillance cameras seeks to prevent crime in public and private spaces, contributing to deter criminal practices wherever those devices are installed and assisting the police in surveillance and potential future criminal investigations.

Sentence Supervision mechanisms involve surveillance and monitoring of an individual’s activities in the community, as well as reporting to an agency, and generally should require a risk assessment of offenders to identify factors that may influence their probability of engaging in criminal activity. It may apply to probation, parole, or other alternative measures.

This category of programs includes a wide range of interventions that seek to maintain and promote the social integration of lawbreakers, both during the phase of compliance with judicial measures and after the sentence is completed, in the transition period between living in prison and in the community. This type of program includes:

There is a vast body of literature showing that alcohol consumption is a risk factor for a wide range of injuries, diseases, and social disorder. The link between tax amounts, alcohol prices, and consumption (including binge drinking) is well established through the association of individual and population consumption levels with various indicators of morbidity and mortality.

“Alternative Measures” are understood as judicial measures applicable before or after conviction that, instead of establishing a prison sentence, seek, by judicial decision, to apply non-custodial penalties and sanctions.
