Abstract

This briefing paper is part of a broader project investigating societal responses to violence in the state of Michoacán in Mexico. It explores the establishment of local security councils that address community-specific problems of insecurity and basic safety. In the face of deficient security provision in Michoacán as crime-related violence has escalated, these councils embody a significant societal response to the region's issues.
