" A Question of Justice is based on extraordinarily rich sources. It relates to a topic that is central to the field of the history of law, crime, and justice: the complex construction of notions of 'justice,' built into the interactions between legal actors, the press, and judicial reformers. It is clearly a must-read book in graduate seminars and courses on Latin American history, Mexican history, or in courses of law and society or legal history."-Ricardo D. Salvatore, coeditor of Murder and Violence in Modern Latin America " A Question of Justice is an important book for comprehending the history of modern Mexico. This study of crime, its perception, and the criminal justice system will contribute to a developing scholarship on the nation's institutional trajectory and its legal culture, particularly in relation to urban relations. The book is a significant addition to the English language historiography on Mexico; it definitely merits a reading by students and scholars of legal and socio-cultural history."-William Suárez-Potts, author of The Making of Law: The Supreme Court and Labor Legislation in Mexico, 1875-1931 of legal and socio-cultural history.
