ÉTAT DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LAS RELACIONES FAMILIARES

The University of Chile (2015) also recognizes its complexity, highlighting that it is a
phenomenon:

[...] that has been defined in different ways and with different emphases, which means that

today there is no single recognized definition.

It has been explained as an abuse or breach of the functions of administration of the public

interest, whether in the hands of public or private agents; as a deviation or abuse of public
resources for private purposes or as an act through which rights are violated, among others.

However, according to the results of the Corruption Perceptions Index (Transparency

International, 2014: 3), Mexico obtains a score of 35 out of a possible 100 (in which 100

means integrity) and position number 103 of 175 countries considered. What coincides with
an exercise carried out by the World Bank (2013) in the matter, which gives Mexico a score

of 39 out of 100 (considering 100 as integrity), in its indicators of corruption control, placing

it in place 127, at the time, as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

From where, a study by Casar (2015: 14 and 17), arrives at the following conclusion:

But perhaps the most worrying fact is that of the evolution of Mexico within the world
ranking of the Perception of Corruption Index. While most of the similar Latin American

countries climbed places in the ranking to be perceived as less corrupt, Mexico not only fell,

but fell drastically from 72 to 103 in 6 years [...] The rating that Transparency International

granted to Mexico in 2014 is a strong wake-up call and ratifies the result of some opinion
polls in which corruption already appears as the country's main problem.
