This event addressed the issue of control, possession and carrying of weapons in schools in the United States and Mexico.

On April 20, 2023, Martha Patricia Hernández Valdez, coordinator of the Master's Degree in Online Bioethics, who is certified as an Expert in Legal Psychology by the National Institute of Legal Development, and the teacher in Intelligence and International Security, Francisco Javier Franco Quintero-Mármol, were invited by the student societies of the Psychology and Strategic Intelligence faculties to participate as speakers in the panel “A look inside a Criminal's mind and gun control in US schools”.

During this event, the shootings in the United States were discussed from the point of view of strategic intelligence and invited teachers, who presented their arguments based on Forensic Psychology, Criminalistics and Criminology.

An exchange of ideas was also carried out to analyze how to prevent this type of behavior and what are the fields of action to identify a possible attacker. In addition, the importance of including some strategies that can be put into practice in Mexico was discussed, since unfortunately there have been cases of shootings in schools, as occurred at the American School in Monterrey, Nuevo León in January 2017.

Finally, the speakers stressed that it is important to know the characteristics of the possession and carrying of weapons in the United States and Mexico.
