En México, por desgracia, ¡la violencia y la pobreza son demasiado comunes!

La criminalidad, en general, alcanza mayor expresión cuando del aspecto local o individual pasa a grupos u organizaciones concertadas y estructuradas para el logro de sus fines, actuando así de forma integrada y coordinada, superando fronteras. Aspectos como terrorismo u otras formas de crimen organizado, los distintos traficos ilicitos o la explotacion de seres humanos, entre otros, cuentan con un marcado perfil internacional, enfocado al logro de poder, objetivos economicos, fanaticos, supremacistas, etc., incluyendo asesoramientos legales, tecnicos y demas apoyos. Los entramados organizados para el delito se entienden y colaboran entre si con mas celeridad que los Estados y Organismos internacionales, superando limites de estos, al tiempo que aprovechan en su beneficio elementos con que las sociedades democraticas se dotan legitimamente. Factores esenciales son internacionalizacion y acceso a tecnologia por la criminalidad, apreciandose claramente la necesidad de mejor normativa internacional vinculante y colaboracion sincera, aflorando deficits que afectan a la delincuencia y repercuten extensivamente sobre victimas, prevencion, investigacion, proteccion y legislacion, referidas a derechos y libertades de ciudadanos e instituciones. El presente trabajo trata de desgranar y analizar las principales organizaciones y estructuras nacionales-internacionales, dedicadas a la colaboracion internacional en seguridad, abordando igualmente su composicion, funcionamiento, actividades, evolucion y perfiles. Asimismo, se detallan las distintas herramientas e instrumentos que forman el amplio panel disponible, sus finalidades y aplicabilidad, evidenciando tambien su necesidad de evolucion y adecuacion permanente, que facilite poder afrontar las situaciones que se plantean, optimizando resultados y minimizando daños. Numerosa normativa nacional e internacional, e informacion, son referidas en el texto, siempre con proposito de aportar al lector elementos de base y apoyo sobre este complejo, apasionante y en continua evolucion, en el que problemas comunes requieren igualmente soluciones comunes compartidas. Sin la salvaguarda de los principios de justicia, libertad y seguridad y la colaboracion global en todos los aspectos precisos, considerando que las sociedades pueden ser destruidas interior y exteriormente, puede llegarse a situaciones fallidas y perdida de posibilidades para vivir digna, libre y solidariamente.

Social Determinants of Health 2nd Edition gives an authoritative overview of the social and economic factors which are known to be the most powerful determinants of population health in modern societies Written by acknowledged experts in each field it provides accessible summaries of the scientific justification for isolating different aspects of social and economic life as the primary determinants of a population s health The new edition takes account of the most recent research and also includes additional chapters on ethnicity and health sexual behaviours the elderly housing and neighbourhoods Recognition of the power of socioeconomic factors as determinants of health came initially from research on health inequalities This has led to a view of health as not simply about individual behaviour or exposure to risk but how the socially and economically structured way of life of a population shapes its health Thus exercise and accidents are as much about a society s transport system as about individual decisions and the nation s diet involves agriculture food manufacture retailing and personal incomes as much as individual choice But a major new element in the picture we have developed is the importance of the social or psycho social environment to hea
