ACTRA

Latin America has the highest crime rates in the world. In Colombia, the homicide rate is over four times the global average, with one in four people falling victim to crime yearly. Citizens in the region rate safety as their number one concern, even above unemployment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) prevents chronic offending by shifting identities and promoting thoughtful decision-making. Over 50 high-quality randomized studies show CBT reduces criminal relapse by 25-50%, theft by 54%, and homicide arrests by 65%.

ACTRA's mission is to implement and scale the most innovative and cost-effective solutions against violence and crime, with Colombia as our starting point.
