Criminal violence in Mexico is rising after a three-year decline, reaching levels not seen since 2011, when the country’s murderous war between drug cartels was at its worst. In August alone, there were more than two-thousand homicides, the highest toll for any month since President Enrique Pena Nieto took office at the end of 2012.
