Abstract
According to the former president Felipe Calderon, the National Security Strategy, designed to overcome violence related with organized crime, made progress by the end of his Administration and improved security as a whole. This article sets two hypothesis based on Calderon’s statement: the more money invested in security, the lower the rate of homicides and the higher the rate of homicides the lower Economic prosperity. We proved these hypotheses by comparing the rate of homicides during President Calderon with those computed by former president Ernesto Zedillo and Vicente Fox. Our finding show that President Calderon invested in security a lot more than his predecessors, but could not reduce the rate of homicides. At the end of his presidency, the country became more violent but more prosperous as well.
