Abstract
GALAN JIMENEZ, Jaime Sebastián F.; DE LA ROSA RODRIGUEZ, Paola Iliana and HERNANDEZ RODRIGUEZ, Karla Yalitza. Structural violence, women and disruptive behaviors in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2022, vol.64, n.3, pp.23-38. Epub Mar 16, 2023. ISSN 1794-3108. https://doi.org/10.47741/17943108.364.
The objective:
of this research was to describe the structural violence in which disruptive behaviors are developed, emphasizing the context in which the social learning of these behaviors is generated, the way in which society is constructed favoring the exercise and practices of violence that affect women and people in Mexico.
Method:
489 people answered the Scale of Disruptive Behavior in Adults; 21 of the women who had ever been arrested.
Results:
we found a high effect size in disruptive behaviors in those who joined gangs, twice the consumption of psychoactive substances in men in contrast to women, as well as greater disruptive behaviors in those who consume illegal substances or alcohol, also, the consumption of drugs and alcohol, as well as violence experienced in childhood show significant differences in women who have been arrested and those who have not.
Discussion:
socialization models, direct and structural violence and the culture of violence in the Mexican social context cause both men and women to commit crimes; the generation of public policies and the challenge to traditional gender roles may be protective elements.
Keywords : Criminal psychology; human rights; security; gender differences; social learning.
