Synopsis

The authors of this work study the relation between economy and delinquency in the various states of Mexico with an emphasis on thefts of property, a type of offense that through various channels “may potentially affect the functioning of an economy, since while theft towards passers-by may modify the patterns of consumption of an individual or a home, thefts towards businesses, on the other hand, may skew the investment plans of a business.” One of their contributions consists of clarifying the behavior of offenses against property in all 32 states of Mexico when they are conditioned to the types of use in violence, and the segmentation that prevails in the Mexican labor market. Among the different findings, we have, for example, that theft committed against passers-by describe a dynamic towards the concentration in the highest levels of incidence when they are carried out with violence; that the procyclical co-movement represents the behavior that prevails in most of the states of the country in the different categories of the studied offenses; and that the dissuasive effect of employment increases in the mid-term in most of the patrimonial offenses, particularly when the offenses are carried out with violence. Aside from the contribution that this work means to empirical literature that studies the link between economy and delinquency, it also provides information relevant to design, evaluation, and implementation of strategies and measures of policy of public security focused on reducing offenses against property.

La portada tiene un fondo de color azul oscuro que se degrada ligeramente hacia el centro. En la parte central se encuentra un mapa de la República Mexicana dividido por entidades federativas. Cada estado está coloreado en tonos que van del amarillo claro al rojo intenso, pasando por naranjas, sugiriendo una escala de intensidad o niveles comparativos, posiblemente relacionados con la temática de empleo y delincuencia. El título aparece en la parte superior, en letras grandes y blancas, con la palabra “EMPLEO” sobre “Y DELINCUENCIA”, y debajo, en un tamaño menor, la frase “EN LOS ESTADOS DE MÉXICO”, todo en mayúsculas. En la parte inferior, los nombres de los autores están escritos en letras más pequeñas, en color naranja brillante, y más abajo, centrado, está el nombre de la editorial en color blanco: “Universidad de Colima”.
