Extortion of Public Transportation and Organized Crime in Estado De México

The concentration of illicit crimes does not happen randomly. That is, there are factors that favor or inhibit criminal dynamics. In the Mexican case, extortion of public transportation in certain areas of Estado de México stands out. In this work, we seek to relate this crime with the strengthening of criminal organizations, which will be done through analysis of both crimes and their connection in the context of this state. The objective is to connect the incidence of these phenomena, characterize the way in which it happens and its social effects. The above will be done through the analysis of crime figures, the monitoring of criminal processes and the understanding of the development of criminal groups. At the end, some general reflections are made and routes are proposed to contribute to the knowledge of criminal organizations and their effects in current Mexican times.
