This issue is widely discussed and analyzed within the framework of the Congress From Citizen Security to Cybersecurity, which is being held in Barcelona on June 5 and 6. This event marks a point of reflection for all agents involved in this area, with the aim of improving the protection and quality of life of citizens.
Objectives of the congress
The main objective of this congress is to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the first public safety survey in Catalonia and to review other related specific surveys, such as school coexistence, male violence, sexual violence and the safety of the elderly.
