In view of this situation, the current Mexican government has proposed that the country undergo a process of pacification. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the understanding and disposition that victims of violence have regarding forgiveness, reconciliation, and justice. A sample of 42 individuals from the states of Sinaloa and Coahuila with a mean age of 34.67 years (SD= 11.58) participated in this research. The results of this study indicated that participants presented an ambiguous discourse on forgiveness and reconciliation, which was mediated by justice. Although there may be a certain willingness to forgive and reconcile, the latter should be accompanied by a process of retributive justice in which the aggressor is punished for the offense committed. In sum, it is also important to emphasize that the participants understand forgiveness and reconciliation as two different processes. However, they also point out that it is necessary for both to be present in order to think about initiating a process of pacification and reconstruction of the social fabric.  En México, la violencia y la inseguridad se han establecido como dos problemas sociales que preocupan y afectan la vida cotidiana de la sociedad. Ante esta situación, el gobierno mexicano actual ha propuesto que el país atraviese un proceso de pacificación. El propósito de este estudio fue obtener una visión sobre la comprensión y disposición que tienen las víctimas de violencia en relación con el perdón, la reconciliación y la justicia. En esta investigación participó una muestra de 42 individuos de los estados de Sinaloa y Coahuila con una edad promedio de 34.67 años (DE= 11.58). Los resultados de este estudio indicaron que los participantes presentaron un discurso ambiguo sobre el perdón y la reconciliación, mediado por la justicia. Aunque puede haber una cierta disposición para perdonar y reconciliar, esta última debe ir acompañada de un proceso de justicia retributiva en el que el agresor sea castigado por la ofensa cometida. En resumen, también es importante enfatizar que los participantes entienden el perdón y la reconciliación como dos procesos diferentes. Sin embargo, también señalan que es necesario que ambos estén presentes para pensar en iniciar un proceso de pacificación y reconstrucción del tejido social. application/pdf application/epub+zip text/html application/xml https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9741 10.62174/{psocial}.v9i2.9741 eng Universidad de Buenos Aires https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9741/8278 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9741/8279 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9741/8280 https://publicaciones.sociales.uba.ar/index.php/psicologiasocial/article/view/9741/8282 Copyright (c) 2024 {PSOCIAL} {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 {PSOCIAL}; Vol 9, No 2 2422-619X FORGIVENESS, RECONCILIATION, RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE, VICTIMS, VIOLENCE.
