Abstract

ABSTRACT The last two decades turned Latin America into one of the most violent regions in the world. While previously, violence in the region has predominantly been associated with state repression and military dictatorships, the “new violence” that emerged since the mid-1990s is predominantly criminal. Related research has been mostly problem-driven, implying that the focus has been on how to improve security governance in the region. The multiple ways in which governance itself is both shaped by as well as contributing to the pervasiveness of this “new violence,” has remained uncharted. This article offers an analytical framework, inspired by the literature on governance, for assessing this issue. To this end, it highlights different modes and instances of governance with, by, and through crime (and violence) in the region. In doing so, the article offers a contextualization for this special issue as well as an overarching analytical framework for the individual contributions.

治理拉丁美洲的犯罪和暴力

摘要在过去的二十年里，拉丁美洲成为世界上最暴力的地区之一。此前，该地区的暴力主要与国家镇压和军事独裁有关，但自20世纪90年代中期以来出现的“新暴力”主要是犯罪。相关研究大多是由问题驱动的，这意味着重点是如何改善该地区的安全治理。这种“新暴力”的普遍性决定了治理本身，也促成了治理本身的多种方式，但这一点仍然未知。本文提供了一个受治理文献启发的分析框架，用于评估这一问题。为此，它强调了该地区通过犯罪（和暴力）、间接犯罪和通过犯罪进行治理的不同模式和实例。在这样做的过程中，这篇文章为这一特殊问题提供了背景，并为个人贡献提供了一个总体分析框架。

期刊介绍： Global Crime is a social science journal devoted to the study of crime broadly conceived. Its focus is deliberately broad and multi-disciplinary and its first aim is to make the best scholarship on crime available to specialists and non-specialists alike. It endorses no particular orthodoxy and draws on authors from a variety of disciplines, including history, sociology, criminology, economics, political science, anthropology and area studies. The editors welcome contributions on any topic relating to crime, including organized criminality, its history, activities, relations with the state, its penetration of the economy and its perception in popular culture.
