Why has violence spiked in Latin America's contemporary
democracies? What explains its temporal and spatial variation?
Analyzing the region's uneven homicide levels, this book maps out a
theoretical agenda focusing on three intersecting factors: the
changing geography of transnational illicit political economies;
the varied capacity and complicity of state institutions tasked
with providing law and order; and organizational competition to
control illicit territorial enclaves. These three factors inform
the emergence of 'homicidal ecologies' (subnational regions most
susceptible to violence) in Latin America. After focusing on the
contemporary causes of homicidal violence, the book analyzes the
comparative historical origins of weak and complicit public
security forces and the rare moments in which successful
institutional reform takes place. Regional trends in Latin America
are evaluated, followed by original case studies of Central
America, which claims among the highest homicide rates in the
world.
