Violence and crime are among the most discussed topics in Central America today, and sensationalism and fear of crime is as present as the increase of private security, the re-militarization of law enforcement, political populism, and mano dura policies. The contributors to this volume discuss historical forms, paths, continuities, and changes of violence and its public and political discussion in the region. This book thus offers in-depth analysis of different patterns of violence, their reproduction over time, their articulation in the present, and finally their discursive mobilization.Latin America—Politics and governmentCrime—Sociological aspectsTerrorismPolitical violenceWorld politicsComparative politicsLatin American Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911150Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Terrorism and Political Violencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912090Political Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911080Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Central AmericaPolitics and governmentCentral AmericafastLatin America—Politics and government.Crime—Sociological aspects.Terrorism.Political violence.World politics.Comparative politics.Latin American Politics.Crime and Society.Terrorism and Political Violence.Political History.Comparative Politics.320.4Huhn Sebastianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut853544Warnecke-Berger Hannesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910156205703321Politics and History of Violence and Crime in Central America1931919UNINA
