INSIGHT CRIME IN THE NEWS ([link removed])
"
InSight Crime examines the failure ([link removed]) of Mexican police to bring the killers of indigenous Rarámuri leader Julián Carrillo to justice 15 months after he was murdered. Crippled by inefficiency and corruption, police have failed to protect people from violence perpetrated by drug cartels. The police failure to act is also said to have triggered the rise of vigilante groups such as the Coordinadora Regional de Autoridades Comunitarios (CRAC) ([link removed]) in Guerrero state.

According to InSight Crime ([link removed]) , 2019 was the “most murderous year in a century” in Mexico due much to the rise in gang and cartel violence as Mexican security forces continue to lose gun battles ([link removed]) against cartel operatives that are increasingly better armed. The GAO reported ([link removed]) in 2016 that 70% of the firearms seized from cartel operatives by Mexican security forces come from the United States.
