PINA OSUNA, Francisco Manuel  y  BARRAGAN BORQUEZ, Antonio de Jesús. Femininities and masculinities related to drug trafficking in Sonora, Mexico. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2023, vol.65, n.1, pp.57-70.  Epub 09-Jun-2023. ISSN 1794-3108.  https://doi.org/10.47741/17943108.401.

This study seeks to describe elements of masculinity and femininity related to entering and acting in a high-impact criminal activity: drug trafficking. Following a qualitative methodology, a semi-structured interview was used with a group of people involved in drug trafficking in the state of Sonora, Mexico, two women and seven men, to explore elements of femininity and masculinity related to entering drug trafficking in four dimensions: power, economy, aesthetics and body. It is shown that those analyzed seek in trafficking to comply with socially imposed models based on their gender; there are also differentiations that suggest a revaluation in their ways of exercising power, their economic goals and the use of the body to obtain power quotas.

Palabras clave : Gender differences; prisoners; Economy; esthetic.
