This volume examines the relationship between states and organized crime. It seeks to add to the theoretical literature for analyzing the criminalization of the state. The volume also explores the nature of organized crime in countries throughout the Americas from Central America to the Southern Cone.
With Latin America experiencing the highest rates of crime and violence in the world, this volume could not be more timely and important. It brings together some of the smartest thinkers in the region, from Mexico to the southern cone. The volume will be especially essential for anyone wishing to stay up to date on the rapidly changing and enormously complex criminal landscape in the Americas that goes well beyond the familiar terrain of drug trafficking and drug violence. -- Peter Andreas, Brown University
