Abstract

An interdisciplinary study about the social effects after the interaction between impunity and socioeconomic inequality in Mexico is presented here located in the sociological field of studies. This reciprocal relation between these two variables can be seen in several social effects, such as: the exacerbation of the vulnerability of certain sectors, while the political domain of other sectors becomes economical and juridical; a justice administration that makes a distinction among the actors; or a variety of infringed rights, costs and lacks in the moment of facing the justice, violations that escape from the law, or either accumulate during the legal process and stay with no punishment, and the consequent lack of trust in the judicial authorities.
