Mexico has become notorious for crime-related violence, and the
efforts of governments and national and international NGOs to
counter this violence have proven largely futile. Citizens against
Crime and Violence studies societal responses to crime and violence
within one of Mexico’s most affected regions, the state of
Michoacán. Based on comparative ethnography conducted over twelve
months by a team of anthropologists and sociologists across six
localities of Michoacán, ranging from the most rural to the most
urban, the contributors consider five varieties of societal
responses: local citizen security councils that define security and
attempt to influence its policing, including by self-defense
groups; cultural activists looking to create safe 'cultural' fields
from which to transform their social environment; organizations in
the state capital that combine legal and political strategies
against less visible violence (forced disappearance, gender
violence, anti-LGBT); church-linked initiatives bringing to bear
the church’s institutionality, including to denounce 'state
capture'; and women’s organizations creating 'safe' networks
allowing to influence violence prevention.
