Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turns the familiar story of trafficking across the US-Mexico border on its head, looking at firearms smuggled south from the United States to Mexico and their ricochet effects. American guns have entangled the lives of people on both sides of the US-Mexico border in a vicious circle of violence. After treating wounded migrants and refugees seeking safety in the United States, anthropologist Ieva Jusionyte boldly embarked on a journey in the opposite direction—following the guns from dealers in Arizona and Texas to crime scenes in Mexico. An expert work of narrative nonfiction, Exit Wounds provides a rare, intimate look into the world of firearms trafficking and urges us to understand the effects of lax US gun laws abroad. Jusionyte masterfully weaves together the gripping stories of people who live and work with guns north and south of the border: a Mexican businessman who smuggles guns for protection, a teenage girl turned trained assassin, two US federal agents trying to stop gun traffickers, and a journalist who risks his life to report on organized crime. Based on years of fieldwork, Exit Wounds expands current debates about guns in America, grappling with US complicity in violence on both sides of the border.

Book excerpt: El colectivo femenino está considerado como uno de los más vulnerables, junto con los niños y ancianos, debido a su condición física, factores sociales, etc., por lo tanto son víctimas potenciales de agresiones y de todo tipo de abusos. La violencia contra las mujeres es una clara expresión de la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres, siendo ésta, un grave problema para la sociedad. Los compromisos diarios de las mujeres en la actualidad hacen que frecuentemente se vean solas ante situaciones de peligro potencial, y también son numerosas las ocasiones en las que una mujer puede ser molestada o agredida: al regresar tarde a casa, en un aparcamiento subterráneo, caminando por una calle desierta, en la parada del autobús, en el ascensor, al sacar dinero del cajero, etc. Es importante, que las mujeres conozcan las circunstancias en que se producen estas agresiones, que estrategias pueden emplear para evitarlas y que deben hacer cuando estas ya se han producido. Este libro trata de suponer un instrumento de trabajo y un medio con el que tratar de adquirir nuevos conocimientos, tácticas y tecnicas útiles para salvaguardar su libertad cuando ésta se ve amenazad por situaciones, eventos o personas imprevisibles. Dentro de este libro los objetivos: Aprender una serie de tecnicas de defensa personal sencillas y súper contundentes encaminadas a preservar la integridad física, ante agresiones violentas e ilícitas contra una persona. Formación para la mujer en materia de autoprotección Aumentar la autoestima y confianza de la mujer eliminando esos miedos Asesorar a la mujer en temas como la legítima defensa, la violencia de género, agresiones sexuales, como son y cómo las prefieren los violadores, etc. Todo ello elaborando un protocolo de prevención dirigido a la mujer. Existen una serie de reglas de prevención que hay que tener en cuenta para evitar cualquier tipo de peligro, acompañadas de unas medidas de seguridad. Conocer estas técnicas no quiere decir que se vuelvan mujeres violentas o agresivas, sino que adquieren los conocimientos y tácticas necesarias para afrontar y reaccionar ante cualquier agresión, pero ante todo, ser capaces de prevenir cualquier agresión, y de prevenir una situación de peligro, ya que el estudio de la defensa personal comienza con la prevención. La prevención es el mejor medio para garantizarnos una seguridad integral. El agresor es un depredador que elige su presa, la prevención permite que no seamos una presa fácil.

Book excerpt: The transfer and accumulation of major conventional weapons is a key issue for international security. Currently, the United Nations Register of Conventional Arms is the only global security regime dealing with this issue. Established after the Gulf War, it aims to promote conventional arms transparency in order to help to prevent establishing arms build-ups, reduce unnecessary suspicions, and promote regional security-building measures. This book provides the first detailed examination of the experience of the Register after two years of operation. In that period, the Register demonstrated its potential importance, but also the severe challenges of establishing an effective global conventional arms transparency regime.
