Vigilante Justice in Mexico: In the Spring 2014 issue, World Policy Journal featured the photography by Katie Orlinsky. Her portfolio explores the role citizen police play in Mexican law and society. (World Policy Journal)

Should the emergence of citizen police be termed a vigilante movement or an attempt at self-defense? Katie Orlinsky takes us to southwest Mexico, where government legitimacy is decaying, a citizen police movement has taken force, and drug violence remains high.

Orlinsky's portfolio originally appeared in World Policy Journal's Spring 2014 Issue. In a follow up interview, Kate Holby digs deeper into the story in the video above.
