In the ISRD study series, the Hispanic speakers' countries Spain, Venezuela, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Chile have formed the ISRD4 Latin Team, intending to discuss the specifics or common challenges in implementing the ISRD4 research protocol. The themes approached so far were the linguistic adaptation of the survey in Spanish-speaking countries, the ethical aspects of criminological research with adolescents, the technical challenges in studies with large school samples, and the transfer of knowledge to those responsible for public policies. As Latin America is the region with the highest rates of violent crime, which mainly affects the youth population, the goal is to generate feasible scientific evidence to impact public policies on the prevention of these phenomena, possibly materialized in a book on Crime and Victimization in Latin America, based on the ISRD4 results.
