Territorial patterns and socio-demographic factors associated with the killings and drug trafficking in Costa Rica

The results of the study allow to confirm the existence of spatial clusters related to the killings and seizure of drugs at the district level. In other words, both events do not occur randomly in space, they have defined patterns of agglomeration or spatial Association, i.e. what happens affects district in the neighboring district. That is why the approach to this issue must take into consideration the location of territorial patterns found in this study as a more effective way of targeting the problem.
