Objective:

The objective of the research is to discuss the role of criminal groups in the social fabric of the study locality and the social implications of forced internal displacement.

Methodology:

The methodology used combines auto-ethnography and classical anthropology.

Results:

The results show that criminal groups condition social behavior in the search to strengthen their social and economic power.

Limitations:

The work delves into only one locality in the Sierra de Guerrero, an aspect that limits extrapolating the results to understand the phenomenon of forced displacement in its full magnitude.

Conclusions:

It is concluded that criminal groups and their territorial presence do not only conform to the control and trafficking of drugs but also intervene in different economic activities in the face of the non-existent presence of the State.
