The young people who join this gang tend to have needs to belong to a group and need for recognitionsince they generally come from homes with disintegrated families.
Due to their penchant for criminal behavior from an early age, these young people are recruited in jails, For this reason, they present high possibilities of criminal recidivism, in addition to gradually advancing towards crimes of greater impact.
Once immersed in the environment of drugs and gangs, it is usual for them to lose impulse control and their level of danger becomes very high.
They also present self-destructive behaviors because their emotional relationships are not solid. Their loyalty is usually based on territory.
Another big problem that gang members develop is the dependence on hard drugs, for this reason they usually obey orders for violent acts in exchange for doses of some type of narcotic.
The Mexicles are classified as one of the most violent groups in Ciudad Juárez, and the insensitivity with which they carry out their roles in the organization could explain the coldness with which they can attack other people outside the gang environment.
