Abstract

[The chapter presents a backdrop to the assassination of local law enforcement in Mexico’s drug-war. The analysis begins with an explanation of how spill-over arms helped change the tactical balance of power between organized crime elements and the municipal police, opening a space for the successful use of law-enforcement assassination. This facilitated the rise of the repetitive use of targeted assassinations against municipal officers which is motivated by multiple criminal goals (not just retaliation).]
