Based on comparative ethnography conducted over twelve months by a team of anthropologists and sociologists across six localities of Michoac疣, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Trevor Stack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978827644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978827646\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Trevor Stack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075193041151,"sku":"9781978827646","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e898890-8e6d-4b34-8ff2-1098135cb836.jpg?v=1685458143","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citizens-against-crime-and-violence-trevor-stack-9781978827646","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
