Opening chapters discuss the social construction of crime, historical crime patterns in Mexico City, and the organization of the Mexican prison system. A section on police and policing offers discussions of corruption in criminal investigations, the militarization of the Procuraduría General de la República, and police abuse in Mexico City. Civil society issues are discussed in chapters looking at the judicial system and democratization, justice reform and legal opinion, the role of lawyers in the justice system, and the role of the Mexican Supreme Court in institutional selection. Four contributions then examine issues of citizen access and professional responsibility, the impact of crime on social capital, antiviolence civic organizing in the border region of Ciudad Juárez-El Paso, and indigenous access to justice. Finally, reform recommendations are pursued as relevant to the police, the application of the "Zero Tolerance Strategy" in Mexico City, decentralization of governance, and human rights.
