Substantive analysis of digital violence in Mexico: Olimpia Law, a case study in Nuevo Leon

Abstract

This article will address digital violence, beginning with the need to establish a broad and complex understanding of human reality in this context. The mission of law as a science is to classify behaviors based on the evolution of customary practices within its population. Thus, the ethical, political, and social roles a nation engages in—part of its culture—must constantly evolve, much like the internet itself. Therefore, it is necessary to create scientific studies that can be translated into future public and legislative policies aimed at crime prevention and appropriate action when addressing this issue. This paper is grounded in the general concept of violence, generating a perspective on digital violence, analyzing the specifics of crimes that arise from digital violence, and concluding with a substantive analysis of the Olimpia Law defined in Mexican legislation. This research employs descriptive and correlational methods, as its analysis will offer social sciences a pragmatic perspective on the compelling social reality of the substantive aspects of digital violence.
