摘要：

dThis essay addresses and integrates `feral cities' with `third phase cartel' and `third generation gangs' (3GEN Gangs) research. The feral cities diagnostic tool will be expanded from three levels (Igreen, yellow, and red) to five (Iadding purple and black). This will be accomplished by means of the addition of two new levels that model the shift from ferality (de-institutionalization) to criminal re-institutionalization of urban social and political structures around new patterns of living. Such processes set the stage for the projected emergence of the BlackFor (IBlack Force) within the Americas. BlackFor represents a confederation of illicit non-state actors - essentially a postmodern form of societal cancer - linked together by means of a network of criminalized and criminal (Inarco) cities as are now arising.
