En esta investigación se indaga en torno a posibles vínculos entre el género, la edad y la violencia implícita en los homicidios que acontecen en México. En primer lugar, a partir de diversos registros estadísticos, se esboza el grado de responsabilidad penal y de victimización de los hombres jóvenes ante dicho ilícito. En segundo lugar, se analiza la manera como diversas corrientes criminológicas han explicado la problemática antes comentada; es decir, cómo han tenido en cuenta el género masculino y la edad o, más específicamente, las masculinidades y la juventud. Al respecto, se plantea la visión aportada desde el enfoque positivista, el sociológico y de la diferencia sexual. En tercer lugar, y para finalizar, desde esta última perspectiva se cuestionan las estrategias preventivas que el gobierno mexicano ha puesto en marcha para evitar la sobremortalidad masculina en el delito de homicidio de los jóvenes mexicanos.This research analyzes the possible links between gender, age and violence in the homicides that take place in Mexico. Based on statistical records, the degree of criminal responsibility and victimization of young men in this crime is outlined. Secondly, the way in which different criminology perspectives have explained the aforementioned problem is analyzed, specifically, how they have taken into account the male gender and age; about it, three different approaches are presented: the positivist, sociological and sexual difference. To conclude, from this last perspective, the preventive strategies that the Mexican government has set in motion to prevent excessive number of male deaths due to homicide are questioned.
