In this June 1, 2014 photo, members of a vigilante group known as "rondas urbanas,” or urban patrols, armed with whips, walk through the streets of Cajamarca, Peru. In response to an eroding criminal justice system, self-appointed bands of citizen vigilantes have taken on the work of police, prosecutors and judges. The rise of these citizen enforcers, who enjoy widespread support in Cajamarca, is just one response in Latin America to the failure of police forces to offer the most basic protections. (AP Photo/Martin Mejia)CAJAMARCA, Peru (AP) — The standard “peacemaker” in this highland Peruvian provincial capital is a whip fashioned from the twisted sinew of a bull penis. It gets a lot of respect. So do the well-organized bands of citizen vigilantes who wield it.
