摘要：The paper analyzes, from a qualitative analysis, the existence of a subculture of violence in Mexico from the study of five municipalities located in one of the most violent areas of the country. It is observed that there is a complex process of social acceptance of crime as standard of behavior. The results of the investigation demonstrate the existence of a learning process about behaviors and negotiation around awful matters since childhood and youth of the people interviewed. With the passage of time, the law presents itself as a mere reference that does not imply its obligatory obeisance. This learning process of informal coexistence constitutes an element of the regional ethnic identity. This is an interesting aspect that could partially explain the situation of violence of many other zones in Mexico where violence is prevalent
