Book Description
When Angel Herrera, boss of the notorious Mexican drug cartel known as the Durango Connection, is arrested and charged with possessing twelve kilograms of heroin, he turns to attorney Matt Gavin for help. The astute trial attorney agrees to represent the drug trafficker even though he knows that the 'War on Drugs' has caused DEA agents, prosecutors and judges to become maniacal enforcers of the nation's drug laws. Anyone who opposes them, drug traffickers or their lawyers who try to defend their constitutional rights, will suffer the revenge of the new law enforcement system. As the Angel Herrera case evolves from arrest through trial, the reader is given a rare insight into one of the most successful smuggling organizations in history. And through attorney Gavin's legal representation of the Bad Guys, the reader is provided with an accurate depiction of this country's drug cops, prosecutors, and judges-those who enforce drug laws with the motto: YOU HAVE TO GET AS LOW AND AS CROOKED AS A DRUG TRAFFICKER TO CATCH ONE. when this book is finished, the reader will ask: In the 'War on Drugs', just who are the Good Guys? Who are the Bad Guys? Who won? Who lost?

Book Description
This second Small Wars JournalEl Centro anthology signifies the important debate that this new forum, focusing on the crime wars and criminal insurgencies taking place in Mexico and other regions of the Americas, is helping to generate in U.S. defense and homeland security circles. The debate comes at a time when neither of the two major U.S. presidential candidates were willingly to candidly discuss this issue and at the end of the recent Felipe Caldern administration which saw over 80,000 dead, 20,000 missing, and 200,000 internal refugees stemming from gang and cartel violence during its tenure in Mexico.

The Insane Chicago Way
Author: John Hagedorn
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022623293X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Police, the press, and the public all see the kind of violence that besets the inner city today as irrational and basically about turf, revenge, or drugs. Renowned criminologist and expert on gangs, John Hagedorn here tells a very different and little-known story centered on the dramatic rise and fall of a Mafia-like Latino organization in Chicago called "Spanish Growth & Development." Hagedorn's main informant is 'Sal Martino, ' an Italian Mafioso who became intimately involved with the "In$ane Family," one of the factions of Spanish Growth & Development. Through Sal's first-hand account, Hagedorn shows that the violence was not a result of "disorganized crime" but rather the outcome of SGD's prolonged demise. He gives us for the first time a detailed the history of SGD-the reasons for its creation, the uneasy alliances between gang families, the organization's reliance on bottom-up police corruption, and its ultimate collapse in a pool of blood at a 1999 "peace" conference. Revealing the hidden and riveting stories of Chicago gangs' efforts to build structures ostensibly to reduce violence and to organize crime, of the integration of gang and mafia history, and of the central role of police corruption in Chicago's gangland, "The In$ane Chicago Way" makes a powerful argument for the need to regard corruption as the bedrock of gang power. It dispels the notion that gang violence can be explained solely by ecological, neighborhood-based processes and sheds light on the current gang situation in Chicago by laying bare its history while raising disturbing questions for researchers, policy-makers, and the public.
