Description: | The purpose of this paper is to develop some sociological explanations of violence by the Mexican government combat organized crime call. For this reason, the Mexican State violence is regarded as the introduction of new rules aimed at the non-recognition of the informal practices of organized groups that control, for example, so lucrative drug trafficking. However, the state order is imposed in a context of social vulnerability, defined as a weakness of citizenship, for example, civil and social rights. Especially because the idea of public safety state, based on technological methods of control of the collective integrations in public spaces, undetermined civil rights and at the sometime, it has failed to consider that social policies were state protections that prevent the spread of poverty and misery, considered as another cause of the proliferation of illegal activities. El propósito de este artículo es plantear una explicación sociológica de la violencia ejercida por el Estado mexicano en su combate contra la llamada delincuencia organizada. Se observa que la violencia estatal puede considerarse un modo de introducción de nuevas reglas, cuyo objetivo es el no reconocimiento de las prácticas informales de ciertos grupos organizados con poder. Se estudia como el orden estatal se impone en un contexto de vulnerabilidad social, y que la seguridad pública basada en métodos tecnológicos de control de interacciones colectivas debilita los derechos civiles al tiempo que el Estado desusa las políticas sociales para evitar la expansión de la pobreza y la miseria, consideradas las causas de la multiplicación de actividades delictivas. |
