AGUAYO QUEZADA, Sergio y PENA GONZALEZ, Rodrigo. Constructing peace: comparative analysis of the containment of organized crime in Chicago, Sicily and La Laguna. Foro int [online]. 2021, vol.61, n.3, pp.609-648. Epub 11-Oct-2021. ISSN 0185-013X. https://doi.org/10.24201/fi.v61i3.2828.
Is there a valid universal model or formula to contain organized crime? This paper addresses this key question by comparing three experiences of containment: Chicago (in the first half of the 20th century), Sicily (in the late 20th century and early 21st century) and La Laguna (since 2007). Patterns of social reaction and coordination in response to similar problems of violence and governance of crime are identified and highlighted. The paper begins with a conceptual discussion of criminal governance and social capital before using these variables to compare the three cases. It moves on to identifying the similarities between them before closing with a discussion of the research question proposed at the outset.
