ÉTAT DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS EN LAS RELACIONES FAMILIARES

In this framework, the CIDAC (2015 b) highlights that, in 2014, 73.3% of the population
considers that their federated entity is insecure, compared to 66% that identifies their federal

entity as insecure in 2012. Likewise, in 2014, at least 50% of citizens are convinced that the

following actors / institutions in terms of security and importation of justice are corrupt:

judges (65%), public prosecutor's office and state prosecutors (64%), state police (61.9%),
police ministerial or judicial (61.6%), Attorney General's Office (PGR) (57.2%) and federal

police (52.6%).

While, in that same year, people recognize the following institutions as little or nothing

efficient: judges (45%), state police (48%), ministerial or judicial police (49%), public
prosecutor's office and state prosecutors (51 %), municipal preventive police (56%) and

traffic police (61%).

This explains why corruption is closely linked both to insecurity and to government

performance, particularly considering impunity - understood as a lack of punishment - as one
of the most important contributing factors.

This is clear from the Rule of Law Index (World Justice Project, 2015), which is constructed

from 44 indicators, integrated into the following eight categories: limitations on the powers

of government, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and

security, regulatory executions, civil justice and criminal justice; and in which Mexico
occupies the not honorable position 14 of 19 countries of Latin America and the Caribbean

and 79 of 102 nation-states contemplated. The country is ranked 99 out of 102 in terms of

order and security; and only countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria have a worse
rating in this area.
