chosen.content: It is not necessarily the case that Mexicans are more criminal than other populations; rather, they are more visible due to the U.S.-Mexico border, the immigration status of many Mexicans in the United States, and Mexico's location in Central America— a region that is often considered to have higher rates of crime and violence. Many Mexican Americans residing in the United States are also first or second generation immigrants, which may explain why some become more susceptible to criminal activities like gang involvement. Furthermore, Mexican American youth may have less access to economic resources and educational opportunities, thus increasing the possibility that they will commit crime. Finally, media portrayals may have perpetuated the stereotype of Mexican as being criminal or associate certain criminal behavior with Mexican culture.

rejected.content: There is no single explanation for why Mexico has a high rate of criminal activity, however poverty and lack of access to opportunities are major factors that contribute to increased crime. Poverty leads to desperation, which creates an atmosphere where people are more willing to engage in crime, especially given Mexico's strict drug laws, which have led to a situation where some segments of society have been pushed further into poverty due to criminalization of activities associated with the illegal drug trade. Additionally, high rates of unemployment, weak education systems, and limited access to justice create the environment that allows criminal activities to grow and thrive.
