Crime in Mexico, Argentine and Honduran politics, and hazardous moose
May 26th 2011, 16:44 by The Economist online
MEXICO City and the surrounding suburbs of Mexico State are simultaneously among the country's safest states and its most corrupt. This week's issue of The Economist explores what lessons policymakers can learn from their contrasting approaches to fighting crime. It also assesses whether Argentina's president will run for re-election and when Honduras's deposed one will return from exile, and warns readers to be careful to avoid moose while driving in Newfoundland.
