Organized criminality in Central American Countries and their criminal capacity in relation to narco-traffic and transnational impact

Abstract

This study focused on showing the criminal actions of organized crime around illicit drug trafficking and the threats Central America faces, taking into account their transnational reach and the impact that these groups outside the law generate in the nations that the make up. An analysis of the factors that undeniably catalyze violence was carried out, as well as some mechanisms of struggle and treatment at the international level that favor the efforts made by the region to prevent, assume, minimize or transfer the risks presented. Based on cooperation policies between the affected states. One of the main results is related to scenarios that criminal groups choose to maximize their criminal efficiency are those countries with higher rates of corruption, with greater acts of violations of legal laws and with little operational capacity of these states due to the diversification of these groups outside the law.
