Border Crime: The Northern Triangle and the Tri-Border Area
InSight Crime has spent two years chronicling criminal activity in Central America’s Northern Triangle and the Southern Cone’s Tri-Border Area – two regions pivotal to transborder crime.
We have mapped out criminal actors and economies in 39 border departments across six countries – Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.
To visualize our research, InSight Crime has developed an interactive dashboard – an online mapping tool that allows users to explore different types of criminal activities and groups in both regions.
