This book examines security in three cities that suffer from
chronic violence: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Medellin, Colombia; and
Kingston, Jamaica. In each, democratic states contend with
subnational armed groups that dominate territory and play important
roles in politics even as they contribute to fear and insecurity.
Through a nested three-city, six-neighborhood analysis of the role
of criminal groups in governance, this research provides a deep
understanding of the impact of crime on political experience.
Neighborhoods controlled by different types of armed actors,
operating in the same institutional context, build alliances with
state officials and participate in political life through the
structures created by these armed actors. The data demonstrates the
effects criminal dominance can have on security, civil society,
elections, and policymaking. Far from reflecting a breakdown of
order, varying types of criminal groups generate different local
lived political experiences.
