The impressive urban growth over the last decades has made it clear that cities, particularly large metropolitan areas are here to stay for the foreseeable future. However, they will remain a problem for government as their size makes them difficult and expensive to run. This article argues that large metropolises need large scale governments that can perform strategic area-wide functions, as well as coordinate and integrate public services.

Summary

The Conclusion first summarizes the study’s findings. It then presents the study’s policy implications that might help inform local actors’ decisions on interventions related to police–citizen cooperation in communities with criminal groups. Additional research questions are also proposed. In particular, how the study’s findings might relate to contexts experiencing political violence such as civil war or insurgency remains an avenue for future research. The final section highlights that populations are projected to grow fastest in countries with strong criminal groups and weak state institutions for fighting those groups. This trend increases the urgency to understand vacuums of justice and how they might be filled.
