Research by Professor of Political Science Shannan Mattiace and a co-author Sandra Ley (CIDE, Mexico City) was recently cited by a reporter for El Diario de Yucatán, a widely read newspaper in the Yucatán peninsula. The three-part series draws on an article by Dr. Mattiace and Dr. Ley exploring why the homicide rate is low in Yucatan, Mexico, when it is historically high in many parts of the rest of the nation due to its “War on Drugs.”
