- Title
Entre acordadas y gendarmes. La organización de la policía rural en Jalisco durante el siglo xix.
- Authors
Isais Contreras, Miguel Ángel
- Abstract
The article details some of the experiences the government of the state of Jalisco was forced to try out in terms of public security during the 19th century. The political and economic instability within the state and the country, reflecting the fragility of the state, led to the organization of civil security forces commonly known as acordadas, a reference to the defunct colonial court that operated as a rural police force. It was not until the second half of the 19th century that the Jalisco government began to design a state police force, no longer under the command of individuals but of the government itself: the State gendarmerie.
