Los protectores del capital
¿Qué lugar tiene Uruguay en el menú internacional del tráfico de drogas ilegales? ¿Qué servicios ofrece el país y qué actores locales protegen al crimen organizado? Esta es una investigación exhaustiva y rigurosa sobre las operaciones delictivas llevadas adelante en Uruguay por parte de organizaciones criminales mexicanas dedicadas al tráfico de drogas ilegales. Aquí están recogidas todas las partes de un gran rompecabezas. Recorre la arquitectura normativa financiera que hizo de Uruguay, a partir de 1970, una jurisdicción atractiva, así como el abanico de servicios financieros y actores locales que han dado cobijo a la circulación y legitimación del dinero sucio. Establece l...
Vendedores de cuchillos
El lavado de activos es una condición necesaria para el funcionamiento de cualquier actividad económica ilegalizada y los "vendedores de cuchillos" son un componente clave de este negocio criminal. Al menos durante la modernidad occidental, que es la era de la que podemos hablar aquí con cierta propiedad, la humanidad ha fracasado en la mitigación de los negocios criminales. Esto se observa con claridad en las demandas de seguridad de la población, que reclama sistemáticamente, de forma directa y llana, medidas de mano dura hacia los delitos que cometen los débiles de poder. Este libro pretende demostrar que el mercado ilícito del lavado de activos es uno de los desafíos pendientes ...
The Oxford Encyclopedia of International Criminology
Criminology in the 21st century has gone global. It has increasingly been drawn to thinking and research that addresses criminological matters in international, transnational, and comparative registers. Issues at the intersection of criminology/criminal justice and social forces, economic policies, political conflict, national security concerns, legal changes and reforms, environmental issues, legacies of colonialism, technological developments and more are best understood when framed as global phenomena. The Oxford Encyclopedia of International Criminology includes state of the art essays that offer critical reviews of scholarship - including theoretical, empirical, and methodological work ...
Latin America’s Pendular Politics
This book explores pendular politics in Latin America, focusing on electoral cycles with a pattern of similar results. Latin America has been neoliberal in the 1990s, leftist during the 2000s, then conservative in 2016-2018 and progressist again since 2018. The reference to a right/left/right/left sequence over a period of thirty years undoubtedly accounts for a singular pendulum pattern yet proves to be excessively simplistic. The right/left dichotomy hides fractures and nuances that characterize each political camp. This book seeks to explain why some elections result in alternations and others do not. Based on an innovative theoretical framework and a unique collection of case studies, the book offers a rich understanding of Latin America’s contemporary political evolutions. Voters are getting accustomed to punishing incumbents for not delivering in time of crises, resulting in frequent alternations. It might be good for democracy, not so much for governability.
Tensiones en la seguridad ciudadana
En medio de todos los cuestionamientos que ha recibido el accionar de la Policía Nacional del Perú en los últimos meses, la presente publicación apunta a caracterizar el conflictivo y ambivalente vínculo que existe entre la ciudadanía y los policías en Lima Metropolitana. Desde esta perspectiva, se describe el impacto que han tenido las diversas iniciativas de reformas realizadas en esta institución en los últimos dos décadas. Los autores también exploran los imaginarios y experiencias que rodean la percepción de inseguridad de la población peruana. Así, esta publicación es importante para comprender el estado actual de la Policía desde la experiencia de actores que no siempre han sido incluidos en este tipo de investigaciones.
The Police and the Public

Codes of the Underworld
The signs and signals of criminal communication How do criminals communicate with each other? Unlike the rest of us, people planning crimes can't freely advertise their goods and services, nor can they rely on formal institutions to settle disputes and certify quality. They face uniquely intense dilemmas as they grapple with the basic problems of whom to trust, how to make themselves trusted, and how to handle information without being detected by rivals or police. In this book, one of the world's leading scholars of the mafia ranges from ancient Rome to the gangs of modern Japan, from the prisons of Western countries to terrorist and pedophile rings, to explain how despite these constraints...
Global Environmental Governance
Grew out of the Global Environmental Governance Project sponsored by the Yale Center for Environmental Law and Policy which began in 1998. Governance is the greatest challenge facing the international community. In fact, only if the nations of the world cooperate in establishing institutions and rules in support of the global common good will the phrase 'international community' have practical meaning.Otherwise, sovereign nations will live, and very likely die, not in a community at all but in a Hobbesian jungle. The scholars and practitioners assembled here discuss options and opportunities for better management of our ecological interdependence.
