Events like narcoterrorism in Colombia in the 1980s, or beheadings in Mexico, grab headlines easily. Yet drug traffickers also hide or minimize violence, or engage in quiet wars. The Politics of Drug Violence explains variation in drug violence looking at the interactions between state power, criminal competition, and the forms of coercion criminals employ.
