Abstract

Part of the results of an investigation that aims to analyze the social representations of boys and girls from a settlement with activities related to drug trafficking in a city located in the Mexican Pacific is presented. It was a qualitative research, having as a starting premise that children's representations of social life are related to multiple socialization experiences. As a methodological strategy, a drawing workshop was held in which 5 boys and 6 girls, between 7 and 12 years old, participated. Among the main findings, the importance of family and closeness to neighbors were observed as mediating factors in the strength of social representations.
