An area little explored in academic research is the motives that lead a part of society to support organized crime. The Seminar on Violence and Peace at El Colegio de México undertook research in the borough of Cuauhtémoc in Mexico City that included the working methods of a drug seller on a street corner in the Tepito neighborhood. The study was carried out by an anthropologist and we chose to publish his field diary, as it confirms that in public space in the borough of Cuauhtémoc the boundary between legal and illegal activity is so diffuse that its study helps us to understand how negative social capital is formed in Mexico.
