Background of criminological theories in Mexico

Introduction

The precarious economic situation and the expensive treatment to serve one of his children, who lives with cerebral palsy, led Gaby to choose between two options, and whatever their decision, knew that he would change his life: either he dedicated himself to prostitutionOr was enrolled as a marijuana transporter from its hometown, in Oaxaca, towards different parts of the country. He bowed to the second, considering that "it was a more honest job", because in his community, which is located in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, the planting, harvesting, packaging and commerce of that substance is something common where, he saysMen, women, children and even elders participate. However, later what happened so much happened: he fell prey and was sentenced to ten years in prison for crimes against health, of the federal order, for possession and transport of illegal substances.

In a recent EQUIS report, entitled drug policies, gender and imprisonment in Mexico: an inclusive public policies guide, realizes the increase in the number of women imprisoned in the country for non -violent illicit linked to drug trafficking. The data show that in two years the number of detainees for these grew 103 percent after 940 cases reported in 2014 to 1911 for 2016, many of them suffer violence before or during their confinement.

The crimes against health at the federal level represent 43 percent of the cases of women in prison and are the first cause of imprisonment.

They are generally condemned for possession, sale or transport of small amounts of drugOrganizations.

“Drug punitive policies have disproportionately affected women. Many of them are poor and enter the market for despair, lack of opportunities or coercion (their partners or other people). Female prisons have been filled with women who have not committed violent crimes and who do not represent serious threats to public security, ”said Coletta Youngers, Wola’s advisor to the drug program. Gaby purges his sentence at the Tanivet Women’s Internment Center, in Oaxaca, along with his mother, who also fell prey to the same crime. His sorrows began at age 16, being a victim of rape, he had a son product of that fact. Some time later he married and conceived two little ones (a girl, the youngest, and a male with cerebral palsy). Her husband abandoned her over the years and the economic difficulties became increasingly difficult. 

Developing

• What causes do you think the offender to commit the criminal act?

Social context, for example, the circumstance is a subject closely linked to individual freedom, of the case previously imposed, in the words of Hilda Marchiori "says that criminal behavior should be observed" always based on personality and inseparable social context "UNADM, 2020 that is, in the context that individuals develop, some factors are not controlled, such as: economy, social class sex, education. And these external circumstances can determine to some extent the actions indicated as contrary to the law.

• What psychological, social, political factors, etc., You consider that the crime has allowed execution?

1. Precarious economic situation
2. Do not consider it as a crime the distribution of drugs (euphemism, that it is better than prostitution)
3. By integration to a certain social group
4. Attributable (being in a state of necessity)
5. There are no public programs aimed at creating sustainable communities. (at least until 2019)
6. Drug policy with a gender perspective.
7. Workshops on the risk and prevention of women so as not to be victims of exploitation and participation in drug trafficking.
8. Lack of making material with documentary information on testimony of women inmates
9. New policies to legalize (decriminalization for possession of amounts of less than 5 grams)
10. Lack of moral sense (assess the end and circumstance object)
11. Psychic inability
12. Extreme fear of spouse
13. To the whole learned from traditions and lifestyles, in your community.
14. Family and social environment

conclusion

• What is the individual, family and/or social impact that this crime has?

Initially, the crime cannot be considered as an action without impact, in its intimate and familiar life, since immediately consummated the punishable act is isolated from his family in the case previously exposed the offender (Gaby) is the main caretaker and provider ofHis children, this being the first cause for which he decided to start as a marijuana conveyor from his hometown, in Oaxaca, to different parts of the country. Now that he has a deprivation of liberty, he will leave him unprotected and especially one of them is sick (cerebral palsy) because. In this sense, the social impact is linked to a phenomenon that has adverse consequences on the health of consumers and their families, as well as in development and social stability leading to increasing a chain of criminal indices.

In this criminal conduct that in my opinion belongs to the criminal crime, it is a social problem that is born in society and that must find in society itself the tracks and formulas of solution. A scientific analysis of the crime must pursue, therefore, in addition to the punishment of the offender, the search for the explanation of the criminal event, and its effective prevention. Rather, create public policies aimed at creating sustainable communities in order to exploit the resources offered by the state of Oaxaca and specifically in the Tehuantepec Isthmus region.

In sum, in addition to the punishment of the offender, which, in this case, is for the crime that affects the community as a whole (health damage) the search for the explanation of the criminal event, and the damage caused and its effective preventionAnd control should not only try to enforce the law but look more thoroughly. According to EQUIS data, they point out that in prisons there is a large female population and it is estimated that the population increases in similar cases, to those of (Gaby) observing that it is not committed to eradicating or minimizing the situation but only is aimed at punishmentbeing that public policies should be created to prevent these criminal events that originate from women in these communities and others in the territory to enlist to enter these criminal activities.
