| dc.description | This book analyzes the assassination of law-enforcement, more specifically, the targeted killings of police chiefs and top commanders in the Mexican drug war (2006–2012). It does so in the context of international and national institutional “gaps” in the rule of law that contribute to these murders.1 At the municipal level, documentation of the rise of the assassination of Mexican mayors has demonstrated its negative impact on the local rule of law (Ríos 2011b).2 The literature also acknowledges that Mexican law enforcement has been increasingly the target of violence in urban cities (Sabet 2012:57; Murataya et al. 2011:89; García 2011; Olson et al. 2010:15; Sullivan and Elkus 2008:7). Nevertheless, little has been written on the dispersion of organized crime violence against municipal law enforcement outside of the major urban centers, despite recognition of the acute vulnerability of local, rural police chiefs (Guerrero-Gutiérrez 2011:45). Thus, this book provides a first case study of the assassination of municipal law enforcement (police chiefs, top-level police commanders) who have been killed in relatively large numbers and at a greater rate than military personnel in Mexico’s drug war (Molzahn et al. 2013: Excelsior 9/11/11). | - |
