| description | In recent decades, drug trafficking has been identified by many sources as the primary crime problem in Latin America. By the same token, sources have warned of increasing indices and a process of socialization of this activity. The value systems transmitted by this criminal modality have become embedded in some sectors of society, vindicating it and generating approval and a desire to choose this way of life, motivating people to enter this activity. The objective of this article is to identify the value systems of a group of people in drug trafficking, as well as to explore the relationship that these values had on their entry into the activity. A qualitative methodology was used based on convenience sampling and semi-structured interviews with eight subjects incarcerated for this crime in the state of Sonora, along the northern border of Mexico. The findings show that responsibility, intelligence, work, respect, loyalty, and family support enabled these subjects to positively evaluate drug trafficking; these values were recognized as elements that facilitated their entry into illicit work. It is concluded that actions to deal with the negative effects of criminal cultural expressions should clearly differentiate between transgressive and prosocial value systems. |

En las últimas décadas, se ha ubicado en diversas fuentes al tráfico de drogas como el principal problema delincuencial en Latinoamérica, al mismo tiempo se ha advertido sobre el aumento en sus indicadores y sobre el proceso de socialización de esta actividad. Los esquemas de valores trasmitidos por esta modalidad delictiva se han incrustado dentro de algunos sectores de la sociedad, creando una apología, una aprobación y un deseo de optar por este modo de vida, factores que motivan el ingreso a la misma. El objetivo con este artículo es identificar los esquemas de valores que un grupo de personas reconoció dentro del tráfico de drogas, así como explorar la relación que tuvieron esos valores en sus ingresos a la actividad. Se empleó metodología cualitativa a partir de un muestreo por conveniencia y la realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas a ocho sujetos encarcelados por este delito en el Estado de Sonora, frontera norte de México. Los hallazgos muestran que la responsabilidad, la inteligencia, el trabajo, el respeto, la lealtad y el apoyo familiar permitieron a dichos sujetos evaluar positivamente al tráfico de estupefacientes; tales valores fueron reconocidos como elementos que facilitaron sus ingresos en tareas ilícitas. Se concluye que las acciones para tratar los efectos negativos de expresiones culturales delictivas deben diferenciar claramente los esquemas valorativos transgresores de los prosociales. Nas últimas décadas, diversas fontes identificaram o tráfico de drogas como o principal problema criminal da América Latina, ao mesmo tempo em que alertaram sobre o aumento de seus indicadores e sobre o processo de socialização dessa atividade. Os esquemas de valores transmitidos por essa modalidade criminosa foram incorporados a alguns setores da sociedade, criando uma apologia, uma aprovação e um desejo de optar por esse modo de vida, fatores que motivam o ingresso na mesma. O objetivo com este artigo é identificar os esquemas de valores que um grupo de pessoas reconhecia dentro do tráfico de drogas, bem como explorar a relação que esses valores tinham em sua renda para a atividade. Foi utilizada a metodologia qualitativa a partir de uma amostragem por conveniência e entrevistas semiestruturadas com oito indivíduos encarcerados por este crime no Estado de Sonora, na fronteira norte do México. Os achados mostram que responsabilidade, inteligência, trabalho, respeito, lealdade e apoio familiar permitiram que esses sujeitos avaliassem positivamente o tráfico de drogas. Tais valores foram reconhecidos como elementos que facilitaram sua entrada em trabalhos ilícitos. Conclui-se que as ações para lidar com os efeitos negativos das expressões culturais criminosas devem diferenciar claramente os esquemas de valores transgressores dos pró-sociais.
