It reveals how gun trafficking and drug related violence are social problems for Mexico, while spillover violence is portrayed as a moral panic for the U.S. Readers will gain a better understanding of how the media portrays and frames the criminal activity that is occurring in Mexico and how it impacts the U.S. The book analyses national newspapers from both sides of the US-Mexico border: The New York Times and El Universal, and draws on a theoretical framework of moral panics, social problems, and cultivation theory. It reveals six framing devices, "the blame game," "worthy and unworthy victims," "positive aspects," "negative aspects of gun trafficking," "indirect mention of gun trafficking," and "direct mention of gun trafficking", which are utilized by The New York Times and El Universal to discuss and frame the issue of gun trafficking into Mexico and its impact on Mexico's border violence.
