Book Synopsis

Tapia looks extensively at the role of history and geography on criminal subculture formation in the binational urban setting of El Paso-Juarez, demonstrating the region's unique context for criminogenic processes.

Trade Review
Very rarely do criminologists get to read an authoritative book by an authoritative scholar on a topic with great interest but little scholarly attention. Tapia's book is a landmark achievement on the gangs of the El Paso-Juárez region in a one-hundred-year time period. You will not be able to put this book down." - Alex R. Piquero, coeditor of Rational Choice and Criminal Behavior: Recent Research and Future Challenges

"Tapia provides a sorely needed supplement to our knowledge of gangs in the Southwest, giving us a detailed history of gang development, cartel and street-gang relations, and the evolution of street-prison gang hybrids in the El Paso, Las Cruces, and Juárez regions." - Christian Bolden, contributor to The Encyclopedia of Theoretical Criminology
