ABSTRACT
In order to combat both corruption and citizen mistrust, now Mexico has begun to implement numerous structural reforms throughout the criminal justice system. For example, the federal government of Mexico replaced an entire agency-the Federal Judicial Police (PJF)—which was seen as so corrupt that it could not even be reformed. Additional reform attempts have included creating a national security oce, partnering police with universities, greater use of the created Federal Agency of Investigation (AFI) in local jurisdictions, use of the military to combat domestic crimes such as drug-cartel-related violence, and partnering with the United States government and federal agencies.
