This article is aimed at reflecting on the conditions of vulnerability and risk in which
thousands of young people live in the State of Mexico as a result of the structural
violence that afflicts and excludes them by denying their citizenship. For this, we
recovered, in panoramic terms, socio-economic indicators for young people in the world such as data on structural violence; we made an approach to the Preceptories of Regional
Juvenile Reintegration from the State of Mexico through four semi-structured interviews
and two field observation reports on two tournaments (football and chess), in which
young people from the Preceptories participated. We state, as a conclusion, that
Preceptories are, eventually, no more than another link of structural and institutional
violence.
Keywords:
young people, structural violence, citizenship
