Abstract

The article focuses on the book *Resisting Extortion* by Eduardo Moncada, which analyzes the dynamics of criminal extortion and community resistance strategies. Moncada argues that the time horizons of criminals influence the forms of civil resistance, which are also shaped by police corruption and the relationships among local businesses and political authorities. The book offers a comparative study across three countries, providing new theoretical insights and empirical research on extortion and collective action. It is positioned as a valuable resource for academics, activists, and journalists interested in crime, insecurity, and resistance methods.
