The culture of legality is the common conviction that each person has an individual responsibility to contribute to the construction and maintenance of a society based on the rule of law. At the MUCD, we believe that one of the main aspects of stopping the phenomenon of insecurity and promoting collective well-being is the strengthening of the rule of law. This can be achieved when all people follow the rules and encourage others to abide by them. Therefore, our efforts to promote and practice a culture of legality aim to provide people with elements that promote the acquisition of knowledge, so that they change their attitude and develop skills that promote their voluntary participation in different spaces of their daily lives and with the authorities. Consolidating the rule of law is a complex task that requires more than just drafting laws and building institutions to ensure compliance. The behaviour of every citizen is also important for strengthening the rule of law. To facilitate the understanding of the above, Diagram 1 is shown. The structure of the culture of legality, which explains how individual behaviour influences the rule of law and how we manage to strengthen it, and goes through a cycle of seven elements: Me, My values, My behaviour, Citizen participation, Democratic values, Culture of legality and the rule of law. We hope that the information will be useful to identify areas of opportunity and get to work to build a true culture of legality in Mexico In order to promote a culture of legality, it is important to start from these principles: the fair weighting of each axis is explained by the model of action through competences, which we promote in MUCD to promote a culture of legality.

Because in civil and legal actions, it depends both on knowledge of the laws and norms of coexistence, as well as on people`s ability to act. The culture index of legality is based on these three axes. Each has an equal weighting, which, weighted, results in a score that goes from zero to ten, zero being the worst scenario of the culture of legality and ten being the optimum. It is a mechanism of individual self-regulation and social regulation that requires citizens to achieve a certain harmony between respect for the law, moral convictions and cultural traditions and conventions.
