“…These citizens, it would seem, are compelled to act in a submissive relationship to government. Rather than developing a secure life based on certain rights—as per the definition of citizen security by García Ojeda and Zambrano Constanzo (2005, p. 69)—individual conduct is confined to government requirements. A deliberative politics that would allow for citizen action and organization is consequently forestalled, with citizen capacity to transform outside security initiatives negated.…”

The article provides a backdrop to citizen security in Mexico, presenting a critique that challenges the democratic bases of citizen security and offering an alternate genealogy of its analytical and practical implementations. On the one hand, citizen security emerges not only from a violent legacy of national security but also amid larger international and domestic trends. Internationally, citizen security is consistent with shifts toward human security that prioritize individual existence over territorial integrity. Locating the citizen as its referent object, citizen security forwards a universal citizen situated against an ever‐expanding list of threats. Domestically, citizen security coincides with wider neoliberal reforms premised on public–private partnerships and a reliance on individual responsibility. On the other hand, a separate genealogy of citizen security in present‐day Mexico is offered, wherein its application is drawn from three interconnected themes—how citizen security emerges amid a political legacy of national security, how it develops from analytical limitations in human security, and how it operates in a context of neoliberal governance.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la inseguridad y seguridad barrial desde la perspectiva de vecinos, lideresas comunitarias y actores clave de una intervención social realizada en un territorio vulnerable en Santiago de Chile. Se utilizó metodología cualitativa, se realizaron once entrevistas y se crearon cinco grupos focales, en los cuales participaron 46 personas. Como resultado, se plantea la articulación institucional y comunitaria para la seguridad integral. Se describe la sensación de inseguridad, asociada a ‘lo externo’, que produce una desesperanza aprendida, aislamiento y encierro en los hogares, así como una baja participación barrial. Se describe también la sensación de seguridad, asociada a ‘lo interno’, con las estrategias de autodefensa y de fortalecimiento personal y comunitario. Se reportan los efectos de estas estrategias, centrados en informarse y reflexionar grupalmente sobre la seguridad, el fortalecimiento de las relaciones vecinales, y el cuidado y apropiación de los espacios públicos. Se reconoce como alcance de la intervención el aumento en la sensación de seguridad, y como limitación el no disminuir la sensación de inseguridad, y se ofrecen recomendaciones para avanzar hacia la seguridad integral.

This article explores the governing logics and political implications of citizen security in Puebla, Mexico, specifically, the Programa Nacional de Prevención del Delito (National Program for the Prevention of Crime, PRONAPRED). Taking a biopolitical perspective, the article centers on how citizens are produced through the application of citizen security initiatives. This production operates at two levels: the regulation of populations and the molding of subjects. First, vital statistics and risk-related variables highlight those populations that exceed the median for risk. Second, those at-risk groups are targeted for training to reduce their susceptibility to violence. Training focuses on the individual, asking citizens to identify and minimize risk in a manner that emanates from and contributes to security governance. The political ontology of citizen security is this citizen/citizenry coincident with official measures. The democratic aspirations of citizen security are consequently muted, as security governance locates citizens within the confines of state power and, at the same time, holds them separate from this power to produce citizen existence.
