| Zusammenfassung: | This research aims to analyze firearms trafficking from the United States to Mexico and its correlation with homicidal violence in the border state of Baja California during 2013-2020. The methodology is inductive because it observes and registers the available data on weapon seizure. It is also exploratory because firearms trafficking has remained in public discussion. Still, little has been analyzed from the theoretical perspective, from the public policy agenda design and its’ implementation. The results suggest that regulatory gaps in the legal firearms control framework in Mexico encourage opportunities for organized crime to traffic weapons, generating spirals of violence in territories such as Baja California. There are limitations in the availability of information, but the theoretical perspective allows the research hypothesis to be developed and tested. |
