Territories of Violence examines the persistence of social violence
and public insecurity in contemporary Honduras. Using a spatial
perspective, the author looks at the Honduran state's security
polices - known as Mano Dura - and the challenges authorities face
in decreasing violence, delinquency, and crime in marginal
neighborhoods, which are controlled by the maras, Mara Salvatrucha
and the 18th Street Gang, and certain regions, due to the presence
of organized crime. She argues that security policies fail not only
because of the weakness of Honduras' state institutions, but also
because of the state's historical difficulty producing and ordering
political territory and space, which has led to the emergence of
territories of violence.
