title: Ronda Campesina Patrol
|
|
description: >-
|
|
A peasant patrol and justice practice from northern Peru in which
|
|
community members take turns patrolling and resolving disputes, with no
|
|
state police involvement. The rondas campesinas emerged in the 1970s in
|
|
Cajamarca and are recognised under Peruvian law as a form of indigenous
|
|
justice.

steps:
|
|
- headline: Organise the rotation
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The community organises a rotating patrol (ronda) in which all
|
|
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
|
|
a hearing.
|
|
- headline: Hear and resolve
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Both parties are heard. The ronda facilitates a resolution oriented
|
|
to repair — restitution, apology, community service — rather than
|
|
punishment. Decisions are public.
|
|
- headline: Enforce collectively
|
|
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
|
|
another. The form depends on universal participation; if some never
|
|
serve, it becomes a private force. |
