Police-recorded crime data is commonly used to assess the crime risk of tourists and locals. Police records, however, are affected by different crime reporting rates across population groups. No research has explored the different crime reporting propensities of tourists and locals. We analyse two sets of surveys in Barcelona, a general population survey and a survey to tourists. Our results show that while international tourists are less likely to report personal crime to the police than locals, and domestic tourists may also be more likely than international tourists to report personal crime, both international and domestic tourists report vehicle crime more often than locals. Moreover, some individual predictors of crime reporting vary between locals and tourists. New means of encouraging visitors to report crime are needed, for example, through further dissemination of information about how to report from the hotel, specialist tourism police units, or dedicated tourism victims' support services.

El Modelo de vivienda cooperativa en Cesión de Uso (MCU) promovido por los colectivos militantes de Barcelona se puede concebir como un medio de reapropiación de la vivienda y del territorio. En este artículo, veremos cómo estos colectivos se inspiraron de iniciativas latinoamericanas de Producción Social del Hábitat (PSH) y del concepto de común para desarrollar este modelo. El desarrollo de esta forma de vivienda alternativa llevó a un reposicionamiento de los actores barceloneses de la vivienda y a la elaboración de políticas municipales considerando la vivienda como un "bien común". No obstante, los colectivos militantes consideran sobre todo el común como una praxis, rompiendo en parte con las políticas del Ayuntamiento y acercando lo común de la noción de PSH. En este artículo, cuestionaremos los vínculos entre estas dos nociones y sus aplicaciones en Barcelona. Veremos cómo el uso, a veces descontextualizado, de estos conceptos por parte de ciertas entidades genera conflictos y demuestra un intento de reapropiación de estas nociones a favor de los valores neoliberales. Así, veremos cómo algunos proyectos de vivienda cooperativa permiten (re)politizar las nociones de común y de PSH, esbozando una forma de comunalización de la vivienda. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The contribution of social factors in the genesis and evolution of the health problems of people as well as the importance of social and family support as a protective factor for health have been extensively studied in various scientific forums. This evidence highlights the need for addressing social problems of health and social workers trained in the sanitario- -widely field are present in each of the assistive devices that provide health care to the population. It should work on problems of social functioning health-altering, and those health problems that impair social functioning of people and their environment. The Health Consortium of Barcelona, in line with the Program for Prevention and attention to the chronicity of the Generalitat de Catalunya, has a group of social workers of different levels of care (hospitals, primary health care, health centers, home care teams, mental health, care homes, and drug dependence) of the city of Barcelona, they meet with the aim of promoting and defending the importance of social factors in the care of the chronically ill and clarify and strengthen its role. After two years of work, this group reflected on their professional role in relation to chronicity by reading and discussion of articles and documents, as well as analysis of the experience of the members of each device, creating a consensus document which they identify each and every one of the services offered to citizens. They conclude that in general, all health social workers of any assistance device offered to the population common services (proactive detection, medical social diagnosis, plan of work, social treatment, group care, coordination and networking, community health and promotion volunteering, participation in welfare committees and research and teaching). And specifically, each health worker, offering a differentiated according to their level of care (hospital, primary care, geriatric, ...), being widely detailed in the portfolio of services developed by this group. Overall, this work offers a vision care continuum, a line of Cross health care by social work, which appears or takes over care in any health care device providing continuous support to the patient and family, regardless of the path the chronically ill do. Accompaniment, when required, should be coordinated and connect with other community services that help complete and comprehensive care to chronic patient and family reality. The results of this work have been: - The creation of a portfolio of health consensual social work in the city of Barcelona to the attention of chronicity. - The commissioning relationship between different levels of care professionals and providers (public and private) increasing trust and allowing the establishment of new synergies. - Strengthening the role develops social work in health chronicity in our city. - The empowerment of the health worker in the management of your organization, promoting their participation in new care programs chronicity. - Improving the continuum of care for the person and their environment. possible areas for improvement and research to advance the social care of some populations are displayed; children with chronic disease, people with addictions and family violence situations. In short, it provides, the result of research, reflection and consensus, the first of a series of future instruments that allow guide citizens, institutions, managers and professionals in the important task is to develop the health worker in the city of Barcelona.
