Value: the analysis incorporates a differential approach by age and gender, as well as the examination of that behavior during the pandemic. Limitations: the lack of access to institutional data and the absence of a differential approach in in consulted data. Conclusions: the violence intensification within the state and particularly in Hermosillo, Cajeme y Nogales has turned children and adolescents who live in in that territory into direct victims.
