This edited collection proposes a cross-cutting discussion on the connection between three main focuses, namely, the State, Criminal Organizations, and Criminal Governance understood as an effect often seen in Latin America through the approach between the State and its public security agencies and the non-state violent actors.State Lethality, Organized Crime, and Criminal Governance as a Political Agenda in Latin America provides the public with an updated reading of the issue of criminal violence in Latin America from a comparative perspective, exploring both the actions of non-state violent actors and, primarily, state actions as promoters, regulators, and sometimes partners of criminal actors at various levels and sectors of society and the State itself. This book presents eight chapters that aim to directly and carefully showcase distinct political, social, economic, and security scenarios in Latin America, where emblematic cases for the region are analyzed comparatively.
