Auyero (2007:18) cites research by Steven Wilkinson that establishes a link between electoral competition and violence: where political leaders have an electoral incentive to stop violence, because potential targets are swing voters in close races, they do so; where competition is low, they will allow or encourage violence. Auyero sees his own work broadly agreeing with this.
