Security & Rule of Law

Security, security collaboration, and organized crime have continued to be major issues on the bilateral agenda. Efforts to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement institutions, intelligence sharing, and investments in violence prevention programs have been the center piece of the bilateral agenda. In this context, the Institute has continued its cutting edge research and publications focused in key areas of concern for policymakers such as money laundering, firearms trafficking, and efforts to build greater technical capacity within the police and justice sector. The Institute's efforts also include looking at the role of civic engagement in promoting public security in Mexico, as well as transparency and rule of law in Mexico.
