“…Purposeful and psychologically informed policy design is, thus, a double-edged sword, with the potential for abuse, and the beliefs and values present in decision-making communities that use these tools are of high importance. Unfortunately, those who employ behavioural approaches do not uniformly belong to the same epistemic community (Straßheim, 2020). Behavioural approaches to public policy act as a type of instrument con i enc hich i a ocial a angemen ha fo m a o nd and works in support of a particular policy instrument or a mix of policy in men (Simon & Vo , 2017, .…”

Gender equality is increasingly becoming a goal of a variety of social policies. This paper explores the parental leave system, and the issues with it. Specifically, it examines the low rates of fathers who take leave, and the impact of this on traditional gender norms and the division of labour, showing how these policies can work to encourage or discourage gender equality based on their design. This paper contemplates the role of behavioural approaches in public policy and its application to parental leave policies, especially concerning improving their effectiveness in promoting leave to fathers. This paper argues that the relevancy of behavioural public policy to social care policies, such as parental leave, has been overlooked in the literature and that ample opportunities exist for powerful behavioural tools, such as ‘nudging,’ ‘framing,’ and ‘default option design,’ to play a robust and effective part in moving the needle on gender equality.

“…To determine the best number of independent components (ICs), the number of ICs that provided the highest similarity level across years (2014 to 2018) was computed. Four different numbers of independent components were evaluated #IC = [3,4,5,7]. Similarity level was estimated based on Person correlation among vectorized representation of each IC.…”

“…Aggressive behaviors correspond to violent actions or disputes that one individual effectuates over another in which physical harm might happen and occurs in a social environment [2], [3]. Understanding this kind of criminal behavior is paramount for citizen security and public health planning [4]. These actions are considered one of the most important triggers of severe personal injuries and homicides.…”

Highly Sessional Aggressive Behaviors Link to Temporal Dynamics Shared Across Space

Aggressive behaviors are violent actions or disputes that one individual effectuates over another in which physical harm might happen and occurs in a social environment. These criminal events have negative consequences for public health and citizen's security, especially in Latin American cities. Predictive crime aims to use analytical techniques on crime databases to identify potential criminal activity. Most research focuses on other types of crime, such as homicide and crime against property. However, there is little research to describe predictive patterns for aggressive behavior at the city scale. This paper studies possible sessional patterns of aggressive behavior crime and its relationship with temporal dynamics shared across different city areas in Bogotá (Colombia), a Latin American city severely affected by this phenomenon. For this, we propose a Spatio-temporal analysis strategy based on predictability, a grounded information theory measure of sessionality, and independent component analysis. Using this approach, we studied more than three million registers reported to the city emergency line from 2014 to 2018 related to aggressive behaviors. Our results show that many city areas exhibit high sessionality values and share multiple temporal dynamics in 8 of 19 regions (localities). Notably, most of these areas present both patterns in 7 of 19 regions. Remarkably, these patterns emerged in regions that account for the 71% of aggressive behavior reports. These results agree with modern crime theories that consider Spatio-temporal dynamics, such as routine activity theory, suggesting that the citizen's routines may generate particular social dynamics which significantly influence aggressive behavior.INDEX TERMS aggressive behavior, predictive security, routine activity theory of crime, sessionality, predictability, independent component analysis (ICA).

“…Así, entre 2010-2012 se habla de la primera fase de institucionalización, entre 2014-2018 de la fase de estandarización e internalización donde se expande el modelo y crecen las experiencias de colaboración entre ellas, y, a partir de 2018 de la fase de diversificación en la cual las ciencias del comportamiento se piensan a escala multinivel, mediante procedimientos descentralizados y se entablan redes de actores civiles, Estados y múltiples modos de coordinación societal. Naciones Unidas y su espacio dedicado a la Infancia, la Organización Internacional de la Salud y diferentes ONG están cumpliendo un papel clave en la extensión de estos enfoques en el sur global bajo la promesa de regulaciones más livianas e instrumentos menos invasivos y más efectivos para solucionar los problemas (Strabheim, 2020).…”

Las políticas conductuales aportan claves interpretativas que mejoran el diseño, selección e implementación de las respuestas a problemas públicos, a la vez que aterrizan como herramienta política que aumenta las probabilidades de alcanzar soluciones legítimas y eficaces a “problemas malditos”. Esa voz repasa las nuevas tecnologías de gobierno que recogen los aportes conductuales: nudges, norma social, think y cambio identitario. En segundo lugar, ofrece pistas sobre cómo se han institucionalizados los esfuerzos por trasladar los conocimientos conductuales a las políticas, ya sea modo ad hoc, transversal u organizacionalmente y la importancia de integrar metodologías cualitativas para incrementar la eficacia en las intervenciones experimentales. A continuación, resume las críticas formuladas al enfoque nudge: quienes diseñan, los temas y asuntos que abordan, y su efectividad. A modo de conclusión, termina con una reflexión sobre las expectativas a futuro que suscita el tema y la importancia de que las nuevas tecnologías de gobierno se sumen e integren a las más clásicas.
