Drug Cartel and Gang Violence in Mexico and Central America: A
Concise Introduction gives readers an overview of the issues
associated with drugs, cartels, and gangs in Mexico and Central
America. The readings are based on years of field research and
interviews with regional leaders and local actors. The book
examines the history and growth of Mexican drug cartels and the
central role corruption plays in facilitating drug trafficking
while simultaneously debilitating the Mexican state's efforts to
confront them. The rise of Mexican community-based crime fighting
is also discussed, as well as the changing role of Central American
gangs, particularly in their relationship with Mexican
drug-trafficking organizations. This edition includes new readings
that feature current data and statistics on Mexican drug cartels
and Central American gang violence, as well as an evaluation of
Mexico's response to events in Jalisco from 2015 - 2018. Highly
accessible, yet replete with valuable information and insight, Drug
Cartel and Gang Violence in Mexico and Central America is ideal for
courses in criminal justice, homeland security, and Latin American
studies.
