Violence is an inherent feature of the trade in illicit drugs, but
the violence generated by Mexico's drug trafficking organizations
(DTOs) in recent years has been unprecedented and remarkably
brutal. The tactics-including mass killings, the use of torture and
dismemberment, and the phenomena of car bombs-have led some
analysts to speculate whether the violence has been transformed
into something new, perhaps requiring a different set of policy
responses. Most analysts estimate there have been at least 60,000
homicides related to organized crime since 2006. Some analysts see
evidence that the number of organized crime-style homicides in
Mexico may have reached a plateau in 2012, while other observers
maintain there was a decline in the number of killings. It is
widely believed that the steep increase in organized crime-related
homicides during the six-year administration of Mexican President
Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) is likely to trend down far more slowly
than it rose.
