Recenzje

'The Small Arms Survey 2012 presents valuable new perspectives, drawn from empirical research, on state efforts to contain drug-related violence in Latin America. While more research is needed, it suggests that emerging strategies focusing on violence reduction – rather than on the complete eradication of illicit drug activity – may hold promise for improving security in communities caught in the crossfire of 'drug wars'.' Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Chair, Global Commission on Drug Policy and President of Brazil, 1995–2002
