Abstract

This article examines the role that a considerable part of society played in maintaining public security in Peru between 1785 and 1835. During this period the authorities sought to encourage the active participation of a large part of the population in said function due to the inexistence or shortage of police forces. In this sense, we propose that a scenario was configured in which, in general lines, there was no clear division between the State and society in relation to the preservation of public security and that, therefore, local powers had a large margin of discretion. action to direct the fulfillment of this function.
