The core principles of the plan which stand out are : preventing violence via the use of a coordinated response involving the various institutions of state and sectors of society with the aim of re-establishing control over areas presently under the control of the gangs; and gaining control over, prosecuting, rehabilitating and re-assimilating these gangs back into society.
Sobresalen entre los ejes de este Plan, la prevención de la violencia a través de la intervención articulada, interinstitucional e intersectorial para recuperar el control del territorio, en manos de pandillas, el control y persecución penal, rehabilitación y reinserción.
