Law Enforcement in Mexico City: Not Yet Under Control

Abstract:

Residents of Mexico City have been suffering from a heightened sense of public insecurity for at least a decade. Robberies and mugging ae relatively common occurences, and many citizens fear the consequences of using automatic teller machines or hailing cabs on public thoroughfares, given the rise of "express kidnappings," being forced to drive from ATM to ATM, usually at gunpoint, to withdraw cash.
