What is State Absenteeism Vigilantism and Security Provision in Latin America about?
This article examines the rise of vigilantism in Latin America, attributing it to state absenteeism, where the state fails to provide adequate security services. Utilizing data from Guatemala, the study highlights how the absence of police stations correlates with increased community reliance on extralegal justice mechanisms. The findings suggest that addressing uneven state presence is crucial for mitigating vigilantism and improving security provision in affected communities.
