Transnational Organized Crime in Latin America and the Caribbean: From
Evolving Threats and Responses to Integrated, Adaptive Solutions
provides a comprehensive overview of and introduction to transnational
organized crime in Latin America for the student and practitioner. It
addresses the geography of illicit activities, including relationships
between source, transit, and consumption zones, as well as illicit
activities beyond narcotrafficking, such as illegal mining,
contraband, human smuggling, and money laundering. It applies a
typology of cartels, intermediate groups, gangs, and ideological
groups to examine specific criminal organizations and the
relationships between them. It makes a comparative assessment of
government approaches to combatting transnational organized crime in
the region, including discussions of interagency coordination,
interdiction, targeting of criminal group leaders, the use of the
military in law enforcement, law enforcement reform efforts, prison
control, and international cooperation. It concludes by applying these
thorough analyses to make concrete recommendations for both Latin
American and United States policymakers.
