| description | Homicidal violence is responsible for the death of thousands of individuals, daily. In many Latin American countries, it is the first cause of mortality for young males.

We argue that policies central to globalization have weakened societies, leading to sharp increases in homicidal violence. This article reviews specialized data and explores two globalization policies that tend to disturb social structures: drug control, migration control, and free trade. |
