Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: Most studies conducted on the drug war have taken a top down approach and few have been undertaken from the bottom up to explore the effectiveness of theories in explaining higher level drug trafficking. In this paper, image theory is use to explore the images drug trafficking groups of Latin American descent and U.S.-Mexican law enforcement have of each other. Image theory contends that both individual actors and aggregate groups assign cognitive characteristics to other entities and perceived them either as a threat or an opportunity. Using content analysis, hypotheses are tested to determine the accuracy of these claims. The empirical evidence based on court transcripts, police reports; personal letters, observations of pre-trial and sentencing hearings as well as interviews with high level drug traffickers and government officials accurately predict these hypothesis. This data suggest that the rogue image the U.S. government have of drug traffickers is the driving force behind the implementation of drug policies and the imperial image held by drug traffickers is what has deter drug cartels from unleashing violence against U.S. law enforcement.
