DELGADO ASTO, Edwin César et al. Community police and assertive communication, a strategy for citizen security: Lurín case, Lima. Rev. aportes de la comunicación [online]. 2024, n.37, pp.67-80. ISSN 2306-8671.  https://doi.org/10.56992/a.v1i37.488.

Communication has always existed and is fundamental for community coexistence. However, insecurity is a public and daily problem in Peru. Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify assertive communication in the practices of the Community Police (PC) created by the National Police of Peru through the Neighborhood Councils, the School Self-Protection Brigades and the Youth Patrols, and to determine if there are differences in assertive communication among the neighbors that make up the PC in Lurin according to age and gender groups. This is a quantitative research, descriptive scope and non-experimental design. A sample of 391 residents was used, to whom a questionnaire was applied, already validated by experts, with an Aiken V validity with a coefficient of 0.94. As a result, it was found that almost half (49.42%) consider that there is good assertive communication and a third (35.71%) consider it very good. Young adults (n=95) participate the most in PC activities, followed by middle adults (n=72) and older adults (n=27). There is greater participation in Neighborhood Boards (n=138) and lesser participation in School Self Protection Brigades (n=127) and Youth Patrols (n=126). Assertive communication in the PC program is significantly high at 85.2%. According to the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test, there is a significant difference (value ρ=0.035) for the age groups young adult, middle adult and older adult, and with the non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test there is a significant difference (value ρ=0.023) for the gender variable, male and female.
