Abstract

Drawing on original interview material with informants, migrants and refugees, this book considers three interconnected ways in which organised crime shapes migration – as a driver of displacement, a threat to migrants in transit, and a facilitator of people-smuggling. It sheds light on the displacement crisis in Central America and on consequences of implementing migration policy in regions affected by criminal violence and corruption.
