Transnational Crime and Public Security: Challenges to Mexico and the United States

Abstract

Issues of public security - crime, violence, corruption, and defective law enforcement - all play important roles in the Mexico-U.S. bilateral relationship. The roots of these problems run deep into institutions and practices that have survived the old order. The contributors to this volume shed new light on the determinants of transnational crime and its consequences for domestic politics in Mexico as well as for U.S.-Mexico relations.
