“…As we observe in the above table, the duration of the journey appears to make no difference in the prevalence of robberies or assaults: 66.2% of Mexican migrants stayed in the United States less than 7 days, of which 4.1% reported being robbed or assaulted, while 5.0% of those who stayed more than 7 days—therefore, whose crosses are most likely completed—experienced that crime. Regarding sociodemographic characteristics, we expected men to have a higher prevalence than women, as women tend to use safer routes than their male counterparts (París Pombo, 2012; Torre Cantalapiedra, 2021), however, we found no statistical significance difference in prevalence between men and women at the 95% confidence level. Likewise, age and education do not influence prevalence levels of robbery and assaults of migrants.…”

We analyse the factors associated with Mexican migrants being victims of robbery or assault while crossing the US–Mexico border, based on an analytical model of the victimization of migration in transit. Drawing on Emif Norte survey, we analyse the prevalence of victimization of robbery or assault to migrants according to migrant's sociodemographic characteristics as well as the journey characteristics, and we use a logistic regression model to assess the way in which such characteristics are associated with being victim of that crime. Findings suggest that migrants who crossed through Tamaulipas and those who hired coyotes in transit or at the border have higher odds of being robbed or assaulted, in contrast, the individual sociodemographic characteristics and crossing with family/friends are not associated with being robbed or assaulted.

Las elevadas tasas de explotación de mujeres migrantes es una problemática de género, pues esta población resulta ser blanco de organizaciones criminales, bajo un enfoque de discriminación y criminalización. Por lo que se propuso como objetivo de analizar la necesidad de un marco jurídico-criminológico específico de protección a las mujeres criminalizadas por su género asociadas a la trata de personas en su condición de mujer migrante. En ese sentido, dada la naturaleza de la presente investigación, se ha utilizado un diseño descriptivo y enfoque cualitativo, la información fue recolectada de bases de datos indizadas. En consecuencia, se ha llegado a la conclusión de que, en la actualidad las legislaciones realizan un tratamiento general y ambiguo de la trata de personas al no tener enfoque de género, es decir, en favor de las mujeres migrantes, lo que conlleva afirmar la ausencia de un marco jurídico-criminológico específico de protección a las mujeres criminalizadas por su género asociadas a la trata de personas en su condición de mujer migrante. Este déficit en la norma es el reflejo de la falta de políticas públicas con enfoque de género que coadyuven a no criminalizar a las mujeres.

This article analyzes the abandonments of Mexican migrants by their smugglers while crossing clandestinely the US–Mexico border. Drawing on the Emif-Norte survey, we examine the diversity of forms of abandonments and their adverse impacts to migrants while crossing the border; we discuss the agency capacity of migrants to anticipate and control the migration process in order to manage the risks of clandestine travel; and we use a logistic regression model to analyze the role played by the selection of the smuggler and the physical fitness of migrants in the risk of migrants to be abandoned by smugglers. Our findings suggest the presence of migrants with profiles vulnerable to abandonment (i.e. women, not having previous migration experience to the USA, hiring smugglers in border towns, or paying low smuggler fees), and preventive and protective strategies to reduce such risk (i.e. hiring smugglers in the place of origin, physical training prior to the journey or traveling accompanied by family members and friends), which are within the reach of some migrants more than others.
