This is Diana Montano, cultural historian, and this is my first message to the listserv. I have been following the energetic discussion here for awhile but I'm not sure whether this has been addressed or perhaps it fell off my radar. I recently published on
article on power theft in turn-of-the-century Mexico City that follows a grounded perspective and largely examines power theft through judicial cases and thus, the main historical actors are electric company inspectors. Maintenance inspections were one of
the scenarios that led to suspicions and eventual arrest/prosecution of power thieves. </div>

I am moving on to a deeper analysis of electric meters, debates on accuracy, who was responsible for assuring the public and changes to legislation, etc., so I was wondering to what extent have members of the group encountered discussions of crime in relation
to maintenance routines. Here I am particularly interested in scholarship that deals with the leverage of company employees or government employees to police citizens/clients' private behavior. Obviously these company/state representatives hold substantial
power over other individuals and thus, there is plenty of room for corruption and personal gain. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. </div>
