It seems like corruption pervades all levels of the state in Mexico, creating an environment where all kinds of crimes can thrive. A lot of the readings focus on addressing this issue and imply that citizens lose faith in their society’s institutions because citizens fall victim to violent crimes and watch their governments do nothing to stop them. My question will be: (although systematic corruption cannot be beaten merely through the enactment of some legislative instruments) is there any chance that the corruption level in Mexico can be lowered?
interesting question– what is your hunch?
