Graphic depictions of crime in Mexico abound in the global
imagination, fueled not merely by media representations, but also
by an abundant body of scholarship that reproduces grotesque,
simplistic characterizations of Mexico’s people, cities and towns
as crime-ridden and almost inherently violent. These
representations, however, often lack evidence and forgo important
contextual analyses, not to mention fail to incorporate the
perspectives of its actors in the research development process.
This collection of essays shows how community-based research
efforts to examine practices like kidnapping, migrant smuggling,
human trafficking, sex work and citizen-led forensics in Mexico can
effectively correct methodological and conceptual gaps present in
Mexico’s dominant organized crime narrative, while providing
effective mechanisms to inform academic and policy debates. This
easy-to-read volume provides a much-needed re-assessment of
Mexico’s organized crime rhetoric, and also outlines a pathway
for those interested in developing critical empirical research on
illicit and criminalized practices. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Victims
& Offenders.
