| description | This article reflects on how violence and public insecurity experienced by young people in the state of Colima —particularly the municipalities of Colima-Villa de Álvarez— influence their attitude, information, and image of these criminal acts. This approach considers the theory of representations and vulnerabilities (social, educational, institutional, and psychosocial). The findings come from surveys and interviews with young people studying at the University of Colima. The representation that each young person has of insecurity will depend on the type of vulnerability they experience: absence or lack of information, their (in)capacities to face risk situations and the state’s strategies to provide protection. According to the study, young people in this locality resort to psycho-social capacities such as alertness, isolation, caution, and a sense of loss of freedom. The authors suggest that going unnoticed by delinquency would be a mechanism for their survival. |

Este artículo reflexiona sobre cómo la violencia e inseguridad ciudadana que atraviesan los jóvenes en el estado de Colima, en especial, los municipios de Colima-Villa de Álvarez, influyen en la actitud, información e imagen que tienen de estos actos delictivos. Este abordaje considera la teoría de las representaciones y las vulnerabilidades (social, educativa, institucional y psicosocial). Los hallazgos provienen de encuestas y entrevistas dirigidas a jóvenes que estudian en la Universidad de Colima. La representación que cada joven tiene de la inseguridad va a depender del tipo de vulnerabilidad que atraviesa: ausencia o no de información, de sus (in)capacidades para enfrentar situaciones de riesgo y de las estrategias de Estado para brindar protección. Según el estudio, la juventud de esta localidad recurre a capacidades psicosociales como la alerta, el aislamiento, la cautela, la sensación de pérdida de libertad. Los autores sugieren que pasar desapercibidos para la delincuencia sería un mecanismo hacia su sobrevivencia.
