EnglishIn those contexts where State failed in building its institutional role as a service provider, vulnerable citizens were drove to arrange their own systems of survival, especially when law and its enforcement came to be an exclusionary and violent instrument. With the rising distrust toward public forces, people took also security and justice in their own hands, legitimizing their use of violence in desperate cases. These governance voids facilitated the establishment of other actors that made of violence their ruling instrument, eventually building their political role in the eyes of the community also providing State-denied services. Drafting from the findings of a fieldwork made in Medellín in 2019, this essay reports how security and justice are managed today in these settings, questioning the nexus between people’s seek for justice and the legitimization of violence through the agency of urban gangs. These actors, in fact, still play an important role in controlling communitarian life, and might represent a perverse instrument in the call for justice. Historically, the underworld has always represented an important source of livelihood for many and so the boundaries of what was socially acceptable.
