Leading scholars and policy analysts from around the Americas come
together to untangle the factors that have fuelled the
implementation of mano dura politics, their rising popularity, and
impacts across nine widely heterogeneous countries in Latin
America. Beginning with a discussion on the concept of mano dura,
the editors move to survey various theoretical approaches to
punitivism, and later review of the empirical research evaluating
different drivers behind the adoption of tough on crime policies.
Since hard-line initiatives often have consequences beyond the
general goal of reducing violence, they then analyze the impacts of
these policing strategies on crime rates and different democratic
institutions. Country chapters on Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras,
Guatemala, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Brazil, and Argentina follow
a common thematic structure to answer the following questions: What
are some of the trends in gangs, organized crime, and violence? How
have governments responded to combat crime and violence? What
factors have fuelled the implementation of mano dura policies? Why
are mano dura policies popular? What have the consequences of these
policies been? Mano Dura Policies in Latin America is essential
reading to students of Latin American studies, political science,
public policy, and criminal justice. It will also interest scholars
working on drug trafficking, organized crime, and violence in Latin
America.
