Crime

Today we feature two contributions on crime. The first is from the blog Morelli84 called Crime and Crimen: do they intersect? The piece explores crime literature, the drug war, media, and terror & calls for looking at crime that goes beyond the spectacle reproduced daily around us. The whole piece is reprinted below. Second, we share the episode of radio program Against the Grain on the Mexican Drug War making headlines increasingly. The program seeks to understand the role of the Mexican state, international capital, and the relation of power in broader society to the drug industry and violence.
