Summary:	Examines how policymakers would identify any spillover of drug trafficking-related violence from Mexico into the U.S. Provides overview of Mexican drug trafficking organization structures, how they conduct business, and relationship between drug trafficking organizations in Mexico and their partnerships operating in the U.S. Discusses illicit drug trade between Mexico and the U.S., as well as a discussion of factors implicated in drug trafficking-related violence. Analyzes possible nature of any spillover violence that may arise, as well as issues involved in accurately identifying and measuring such violence, and evaluates available crime rate data and how this data may or may not reflect changes in drug trafficking-related crime.
