Abstract

The purpose of this work is to reflect on the specific characteristics of violent crimes in which teenagers in Mexico participate. It is based on a study that included conducting 730 interviews with adolescents, men and women, detained in 17 states of the Republic. The question that motivated this study was: is there a relationship between the conditions of vulnerability experienced by teenagers in their early childhood (Adverse Child Experiences) and the violent crimes they committed? In this work we cite the testimonies of nine adolescent women that allow the analysis of the traits that distinguish the violent behaviors in which they participate.
