Sommario/riassunto

This book examines the relationship between politics, crime, and violence in Latin America with the aim of moving away from overly simplified views of the region. Instead, it engages in deeper structural



analysis, making use of a range of approaches with the wider aim of improving policies that seek to reduce the impact of crime-related violence.
