In the view of some experts, concern over public security in Chile is increasingly associated with the "zero tolerance" trend, which essentially boils down to the criminalisation of poverty in defence of a social order.
Providencia has a population of 125,000, but the floating population is around 600,000, argued Labbé, on the basis of information from an Interior Ministry report which states that the municipality had the highest rate of reported assaults, robberies and homicides in Chile in the first half of 2004.
Although Chile is viewed from abroad as a safe country in comparison to other Latin American nations, the exaggerated alarm over crime is unleashing phenomena that have raised concern, even in the government of Ricardo Lagos.

This study attempts to establish how the policies of the military government strengthened authoritarian structures locally as well as the degree by which the mechanisms of articulation created by the authoritarian State satisfied local needs and the degree by which the regime was able to legitimate itself in the local community.

Finally, the author argues that as a consequence of the strengthening of the municipality undertaken by the military regime, parties will compete heavily to attain control in the democratic consolidation process … (text incomplete).

 Chile: Municipal Elections 1992
By pressing the passing of a law that established that a council would be composed by an even number of members, the right-wing parties were expecting that - at least in their traditional strongholds of market towns and rural municipalities - they could, in the worst case, share the municipal power with the government parties.
When such a tie would be produced, the parties were forced, by law, to share their term in power (i.e.: each major had to stay in power for two of the four years that a council would last).
Also acting in the conservatives' favour was the fact that almost 100% of the acting mayors in the 334 municipalities of Chile had pro-Pinochet mayors, (i.e.: those still remaining from the previous government), until well after the new democratic government had been elected!
