School violence has been a topic explored significantly in recent years educational research in Mexico, however, in contexts of extreme violence have not been shown the impact of structural violence, school and other community spaces. The article presents results of an investigation that aimed to reconstruct the impact of violence in the northwest region of Chihuahua, from the educational community (teachers, parents, students) in two towns in particular. In the manner of case studies and by using content analysis, we analyze the impact on the perception of increased violence from direct experience, the dynamic modification of the schools, the abandonment of public spaces and signaling of "new" actors, apparently outside the community, that appear a priori by their social status, as those responsible for violence.
