Thus, supported by their respective consulting firms (Giuliani Partners and the Bratton Group LLC), Giuliani and Bratton have been hired or have been cited as the inspiration for policing strategies in: Mexico (Becker and Müller, 2013;Crossa, 2009;Davis, 2013;Mountz and Curran, 2009), Brazil (Goode et al, 2013;Wacquant, 2003), Ecuador (Swanson, 2007), Venezuela (Andrews and Bratton, 2008), Chile (DePalma, 2002), Argentina (Dammert and Malone, 2006), Honduras (Rodgers et al, 2009), El Salvador (Zilberg, 2007), Guatemala (Rodgers et al, 2009) and the Dominican Republic (Howard, 2009), to name a few.
