Security & Strategic Review - August 2005

Mexican law enforcement agencies are having second thoughts about the value of any assistance the US may have to offer in the effort to curb the activities of the street gangs known as maras. Those who have been studying US performance in this field say their peers north of the border are about as new to this phenomenon as they are. This appears to be confirmed in an extensive report published by the Washington Post on 14 August.
