<p><strong>Method</strong> Keywords such as: “PTSD”, “Post-traumatic Stress Disorder”, “Psychological Treatment”, "Criminal Violence", “Delinquency” and “Mexico” to screen for english-language published articles, and the terms "TEPT," “Trastorno de Estrés Postraumático,” “Tratamiento Psicólogico”, "Violencia Criminal" and “Delincuencia” for Spanish-language on databases PubMed, Scopus, Redalyc and SciELO.</p>
<p><strong>Results</strong> 5 final studies were included as part of the review related to these Mexico search terms, however, most of them were related to analyze the disorder’s prevalence over the population. Only one study was found to have an evidence-based psychological treatment implemented to the disorder-suffering population.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusions</strong> Data available in regards of the criminal violence impact over developing PTSD symptoms in Mexico suggests an increase over time.
