The Rise of Citizen Security in the Americas
A Talk by Robert Muggah, Co-Founder & Research Director of the Igarape Institute
March 12, 2018, at 12 Noon, Taylor Family Digital Library
In addition to the widespread impunity and inequality, the origin of violence in Latin American and Caribbean societies is connected to repressive and punitive approaches to tackling criminality. But a new generation of home-grown ‘citizen security’ measures concerned with guaranteeing the safety and rights of citizens has emerged in recent decades. Join us for a talk by Robert Muggah to find out more.
This talk is hosted by the Latin American Research Centre, the Centre for Military, Security, and Strategic Studies, and the Department of Political Science.
This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
