City of Suspects will be warmly appreciated by historians of modern Mexico and historically-minded sociologists and political scientists who sympathise with Piccato's ambition to keep crime and the state within the same field of inquiry.""- William B. Taylor, University of California, Berkeley" City of Suspects offers a perceptive and original analysis of crime and punishment in early twentieth-century Mexico City. Spanning the authoritarian twilight of the Porfiriato, the violent catharsis of the Revolution,and the flawed social reformism of the 1920s, it roams the streets and households, barrios and penitentiaries of the city,exploring changing state policy and social mores, while illuminating concerns-crime, policing, moral panics-which are as relevant today as they were a century ago. -Alan Knight, Oxford University An important, accessible book on a difficult and significant subject.
