Mexico's Struggle for Public Security: Organized Crime and State Responses

by George Philip and Susana Berruecos

Book Overview

The Mexican government's full-frontal attack on the powerful drugs cartels has achieved mixed results. This book considers the issue from a variety of viewpoints. The essential argument is that the organized crime is best combated by institutional reforms directed at strengthening the rule of law rather than by a heavy reliance on armed force.
