对拉丁美洲犯罪和治安的学术分析通常集中在国家机构未能保障法治。然而，这项研究认为，里约贫民窟（棚户区）持续高水平的暴力不是由于机构的失败，而是由于犯罪分子与公民领袖、政治家和警察的网络。这些联系保护贩运者免受国家镇压，并帮助他们在贫民窟活动的居民中建立政治支持。这些网络不是在政治控制之外创造“平行国家”，而是将人口贩子主导的贫民窟与里约更广泛的政治和社会体系联系起来。
Academic analyses of crime and policing in Latin America have generally focused on the failure of state institutions to guarantee a rule of law. This study, however, argues that the persistently high levels of violence in Rio's favelas [shantytowns] result not from the failure of institutions but, rather, from networks that bring criminals together with civic leaders, politicians, and police. These contacts protect traffickers from state repression and help them build political support among the residents of the where they favelas operate. Rather than creating 'parallel states' outside of political control, then, these networks link trafficker dominated favelas into Rio's broader political and social system.
