The anti-crime strategy implemented by the current Federal Government changed after former President Felipe Calderon left office, and out with his power went his declaration of war on drugs.
Since Enrique Peña Nieto took office, criminals were, "presented less" as the Interior Minister, Miguel Angel Osorio explained, the strategy meant that the data was unified and there weren't various scattered statements on issues security.
The head Segob declared that because of the presentation of delinquents, "previously many of those criminals had to be released from prison because their human rights had been violated, I do not think (Osorio said) it was because they were not criminals, most likely they probably were, but because of such spectacular displays before TV audiences, and in this time of human rights considerations, they were released the next day "
