Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the paradox of crime and governance in Latin America, where soaring homicide rates compel governments to balance the urgency for reform with public pressure for swift, often harsh, policing reminiscent of past dictatorships. It delves into the complexities of addressing crime while navigating the socio-political landscape, highlighting the challenges of implementing effective, long-term solutions amidst a backdrop of historical repression.
