Security must not reproduce more violence. Instead, it should reveal the human face of society and show that the desire for revenge can be overcome, writes
Jenny Pearce (LSE Latin America and Caribbean Centre).
We are by now “used to” the painful statistics on violence in Mexico. These statistics often create a sense of impotence, of distance from realities. They convert into calculations, measurements, comparisons. The average number of violent acts across different years, for example, allows us to claim that the problem has been overcome when there is a relative decline. Or when a country has less homicides than its neighbour, it can be seen as a country with “less” of a violence problem. This is how Mexico was seen for a long time when compared to Colombia.
