This study investigates the interplay of economic and non-economic variables influencing violence in Mexico, focusing on organized crime, suicide rates, and the effects of climate variations. Utilizing empirical data, the authors analyze how factors beyond traditional economic explanations contribute to social unrest and personal acts of violence, highlighting the multifaceted nature of violence and its drivers. The book addresses contemporary challenges at the nexus of climate change, social violence, and economic instability, providing evidence-based insights crucial for policymakers and community leaders. It supports the development of integrated interventions combining environmental policies with social and health programs to reduce violence and promote community resilience. Final Verdict: A valuable empirical contribution that broadens the understanding of violence causation by integrating economic, social, and environmental factors, highly relevant for interdisciplinary peace and conflict studies.Strengths lie in its robust data-driven methodology and cross-sectoral approach. The limitation is its geographic specificity, though findings may offer comparative insights globally. It contributes to policy-relevant research with practical applications in violence prevention.
