URIBE ARAMBURO, Nicolás Ignacio  e  CASTANO PEREZ, Guillermo Alonso. Football gangs, drug consumption and violence. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2014, vol.31, n.2, pp.243-279. ISSN 0123-417X.

Based on a descriptive and analytical research carried out under a qua-litative methodological design the co-ocurrence of the consumption of psychoactive substances and aggressive and violent behaviors in the members of some of the football supporting groups of the city of Medellin, Colombia were described and analyzsed. Using the participant observation technique we were able to show that drug use, together with the identification, suggestion and social contagion phenomena, promote the disturbance of consciousness and the temporary abolition of patterns of thought and behavior typical of individuals, as well as the moral and ethical precepts regulating action in society. This explains why the individuals of the mass (football supporter groups) become reckless, impulsive, angry, and violent from the scope of social psycho-logy, psychoanalysis and Ethology.

Palavras-chave : football supporter groups; drugs; violence; identification; contagion; imitation.
