Policing and security governance in areas of limited statehood have become central issues in contemporary academic and political debates. This book offers an in-depth study on public security provision, the resulting state-society relations, and policing in Mexico City.
This is a brilliant study on the complex articulation between the metropolitan police forces and the general public in Mexico City. It is rich in conceptualization, provides overwhelming empirical support and is eloquently written. I have no doubt about the character of this fine publication: It will be a modern classic in the field of public security and urban violence in Latin America. Highly recommended.
