“…This agenda requires educational models that effectively promote moral development and appreciation of the law, especially in vulnerable communities. The analyses of the programmes implemented with this purpose in Mexico in the twenty-first century, such as the Culture of Lawfulness Programme (2000–06), the National Safe School Programme (PNES, 2007–16) and the National School Coexistence Programme (since 2017), as well as anti-bullying interventions (Eguía, 2015; Martínez Vilchis et al, 2017; Vega-Cauich, 2019), have yielded the following lessons (Furlán & Spitzer, 2013; Reyes-Angona, Fernández-Cárdenas, & Gudiño, 2018; Vega López & González Pérez, 2016): (a) it is not enough to protect the school from violence and make it a physically safe space, but it is also essential to make it a space for the expression and construction of social democratic values and practices; and (b) a culture of lawfulness is not developed effectively if it solely comes from authorities to the rest of the school community (top-down), but instead it should involve the active participation of the entire community (bottom-up), especially students.…”
