摘要：La violencia con armas de fuego es uno de los problemas sociales más grandes de América Latina. Desde hace algunos años, los sistemas de detección de disparos están cobrando relevancia en la región como una herramienta tecnológica que puede reducirla. Este artículo presenta una revisión de la tecnología de detección de disparos, e intenta examinar su utilización en algunos países de América Latina. Se resumen los principales atributos de funcionamiento de estos sistemas y se revisan investigaciones para evaluar su eficacia en el apoyo a la labor policial, la reducción de la violencia y los crímenes con armas de fuego. Con base en sus principios de funcionamiento y las diferencias urbanísticas y demográficas de las ciudades donde se utilizan, se examina cualitativamente el desempeño de los sistemas de detección de disparos en la región. Abstract Gun violence is one of the biggest social problems in Latin America. In recent years gunshot detection systems have been gaining relevance in the region as a technological tool that may reduce it. This article presents a review of gunshot detection technology, and attempt to examine its use in some Latin American countries. The main operating attributes of these systems are described, and researches conducted to evaluate their effectiveness in supporting police work and reducing gun violence and crimes are reviewed. Based upon the operating principles of these systems and considering the urban and demographic differences of the cities where they are used, the performance and effectiveness of the fire detection systems in the region are qualitatively examined.
