Esta investigación desarrolla el tema de los agentes de vigilancia de los sitios arqueológicos en la Región Lima, en particular se escogieron doce monumentos arqueológicos: Huaycán de Pariachi, Cajamarquilla, Garagay, Paraíso, San Juan de Pariachi, Monterrey, Bellavista, Palomino, Mangomarca, Huanchihuaylas, Huaca San Borja y Bandurria; con la finalidad de llamar la atención a la sociedad que estos actores han sido dejados de lado, olvidados, falta de reconocimiento y sobre todo no vistos como parte del proceso de patrimonialización de los monumentos arqueológicos. En ese sentido, esta investigación con un enfoque cualitativo del tipo exploratorio, descriptivo y explicativo busca demostrar que los agentes de vigilancia han construido una estrecha vinculación con el patrimonio cultural de manera afectiva o apego. De este modo, se utiliza la técnica de las entrevistas semiestructuradas, conversaciones informales, observación participante y elaboración de dibujos para explorar de qué modo estos nuevos actores construyen una experiencia de lugar en los monumentos arqueológicos a partir del espacio material, prácticas cotidianas, trayectorias de vida, rutinas espaciales, narrativas, y sentido de lugar para comprender su apego al lugar y de algún modo visibilizar sus inquietudes y opiniones respecto a lo que están realizando en el lugar. Finalmente, a grandes rasgos se ha logrado concluir que efectivamente los agentes de vigilancia presentan un fuerte apego al lugar, es decir al monumento arqueológico, y de este modo le dan un sentido. Todo esto se da a través de la construcción de experiencias, en cuyo proceso se enlaza el espacio material (sitios arqueológicos), educación, oficios, servicio militar, lecciones de vida, reconocimientos, vida cultural, prácticas cotidianas, autopercepción, interacción con las personas, satisfacciones, conciencia, compromisos, sentimientos y recuerdos. Es decir, estos nuevos actores han experimentado con gran parte de estos elementos emocionales, que le han permitido un mayor apego al lugar, reflejado en su constancia por el cuidado del patrimonio cultural. / This research develops the issue of security guards of archaeological sites in the Lima Region, in particular twelve archaeological monuments were chosen: Huaycán de Pariachi, Cajamarquilla, Garagay, Paraíso, San Juan de Pariachi, Monterrey, Bellavista, Palomino, Mangomarca , Huanchihuaylas, Huaca San Borja and Bandurria; with the aim of drawing attention to society that these actors have been left aside, forgotten, lack of recognition and above all not seen as part of the process of patrimonialization of archaeological monuments. In this sense, this research with a qualitative approach of the exploratory, descriptive and explanatory type, seeks to demonstrate that security guards have built a close relationship with cultural heritage in an affective or attachment way. In this way, the technique of semi-structured interviews, informal conversations, participant observation and drawing drawings are used to explore how these new actors build an experience of place in archaeological monuments from material space, daily practices, trajectories of life, spatial routines, narratives, and sense of place to understand their attachment to the place and in some way make visible their concerns and opinions regarding what they are doing in the place. Finally, in general terms it has been possible to conclude that the security guards do have a strong attachment to the place, that is, to the archaeological monument, and in this way, they give it a meaning. All this occurs through the construction of experiences, in the process of which the material space (archaeological sites), education, trades, military service, life lessons, recognition, cultural life, daily practices, self-perception, interaction with people are linked, satisfactions, conscience, commitments, feelings and memories. In other words, these new actors have experimented with a large part of these emotional elements that have allowed them to become more attached to the place, reflected in their perseverance in caring for cultural heritage.

Increasing incidents of mob justice have left a trail of murders that remain unsolved in the rural areas of South Africa. As such, little attention has been given to the experiences of victims and perpetrators involved in mob justice related incidents in these areas in particular. The purpose of this study was to examine narrative accounts of the experiences of victims and perpetrators engaged in mob justice associated incidents in the Diphale village, Limpopo. Twenty participants, consisting of 14 perpetrators and 06 victims, were chosen through sampling techniques, like, convenience and snowball sampling. A qualitative approach was adopted using semi-structured interviews as the key research instrument. The semi-structured interviews were conducted with 09 perpetrators, and two focus groups involving 06 victims and 05 perpetrators. Data was analysed using thematic analysis to interpret data collected from the participants. The findings indicated that unsolved crime leads to persistent mob justice activities in the Diphale village. The findings in the study were further bolstered through the provision of recommendations aimed at preventing future mob justice activities. The recommendations highlight proper service delivery, including community development, and the reduction of corruption and bribery. / Criminology and Security Science / M.A. (Criminology)
