Still Standing
Recent work on resilience in illicit organizations emphasizes the need to examine how groups anticipate and prepare for disturbances. This study investigates how proactive resilience mechanisms enabled MS-13 in El Salvador to survive the collapse of a secret deal with state actors. Using wiretap logs, we map the gang’s telecommunications and apply network metrics and models to analyse shifts in interaction patterns. Our findings show that overlap…
Structuring adaptations
Inspired by Giommoni's assessment of the Cunningham precursor control scholarship, we propose two concepts to help drug policy scholars think through the mechanisms that operate when market participants are faced with a change in precursor availability. The first is the concept of restrictive deterrence, that emphasizes risks mitigation strategies such as looking into changes in the frequency, methods, markets that may occur after different types…
Street corner decisions
This paper identifies offender choice patterns associated with extortion subtypes in El Salvador, Central America. Previous research attributes the rise of extortion in the country to the evolution and propagation of Los Angeles-born street gangs Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and Barrio 18. Data from a unique business victimisation survey is used to analyse 53 decisions in 869 reported cases. The study borrows a multidimensional scaling method used in…

The United Nations’ Global Study on Crime has consistently ranked Central America’s northern triangle among the most violent regions in the world.1 Nonetheless, criminological research in the isthm
Waiting to Imitate
We study the problem of an inventor who brings to the market an innovation that can be legally copied. Imitators may 'enter' the market by copying the innovation at a cost or by buying from the inventor the knowledge necessary to reproduce and use the invention. The possibility of contracting dramatically affects the need for patent protection. Indeed, our results reveal that: (i) Imitators wait to enter the market and the inventor becomes a temp…
La enfermedad de Chagas en la zona central de Honduras
From November to December 1991 and in March 1993 a survey was conducted in 17 rural communities located in Central Honduras. The communities belonged to two areas where Chagas' disease is endemic. In one of them, disease control activities had been conducted. A total of 849 adults, one in each of an equal number of households, was interviewed. The objective of the survey was to investigate and compare in both locations knowledge about Chagas' dis…
