adult male members take turns, with no permanent police. Each
night's patrol is drawn from a different sector.
- headline: Patrol the community
description: >-
The night's ronda patrols the community, deterring livestock theft
and responding to disturbances. They report at dawn to the
rondal and the community.
- headline: Receive disputes
description: >-
The rondal and senior members receive disputes brought by community
members — theft, boundary conflicts, domestic disputes — and convene

to repair — restitution, apology, community service — rather than
punishment. Decisions are public.

description: >-
The community collectively enforces the resolution. There is no
separate enforcement body; the ronda's authority rests on communal
participation.
outcome: >-
Community security and dispute resolution are maintained through
rotating participation, with justice oriented to repair and enforced
collectively.
practice: >-
The rotation is what makes the ronda legitimate — no one is police over
