This article presents and analyses the results of a study carried out at the Autonomous University of Chiapas, Faculty of Law, with the objective of knowing the perception of young university students regarding the acts of corruption. Also, explore common corruption practices. The findings are relevant considering that future professionals identify in their immediate environment acts and actors with corrupt practices that have become naturalized and that locate Mexico in one of the first places in international ranking. The results also indicate the institutionalization of corruption and the lack of control of these acts. Another important fact is that within the social actors identified as corrupt are the politicians, police officers and lawyers who occupy the first three sites (executors of laws) and not far, fourthly, to religious representatives.
