Among the topics analyzed were the effects of job loss on crime and domestic violence, as well as how nepotism shapes politics in the Latin American country.

Also, CLEAN researchers Giovanna Marcolongo and Gianmarco Daniele and CLEAN visiting scholar Gema Lax-Martinez were discussants in sessions on crime in politics and violence in Latin America. The research unit was further represented by research assistants and former visiting scholars.
