Abstract

[The military mystique corresponds to a set of beliefs shaping military interventions in combatting criminal activity yet the demand for militarizing security is context dependent as police responses have failed to control criminal behavior. This chapter aims to understand how societal perceptions regarding the superiority of the Armed Forces to the detriment of civilian agencies shape military operations. It demonstrates that not only the myth about the honorability and efficiency of the Armed Forces delimits the set of options that ordinary citizens envisage for responding to a spike in insecurity, but also stimulates the extension of military activities beyond the initial realm of action once an operation starts.]
