The Killing Consensus by Graham Denyer Willis
Shows how in Sao Paulo, Brazil, killing and the arbitration of normal killing in the name of social order are actually conducted by two groups the police and organized crime both operating according to parallel logics of murder.
"Weaving in detailed observations from years of fieldwork, Willis's ethnography is both a cautionary tale about the cyclical nature of unregulated violence and a critique of the system that facilitates such an arrangement" Survival: Global Politics and Strategy "An engaging and theoretically thorough interpretation of the public security challenge in urban Brazil." Luso-Brazilian Review
