Abstract

The research was carried out from a quantitative perspective, with a descriptive methodology and a non-experimental design, relying on documentary and bibliographic analysis, which allowed the exploration of documents, norms, laws, and research related to the subject. The objective of this work is to determine the aggravating factor as a vehicular crime against the integrity of people as a result of the state of intoxication. The population with whom this investigation was worked was applied to legal operators familiar with the subject, such as Judges, Prosecutors and Lawyers who presented their opinions on the issue of drunkenness and the aggravation of the penalty in crimes. These were done through the media, by phone, instant messaging and emails. It is concluded that the penalty to the driver should be aggravated when driving while intoxicated, causes the death of one or more people; and, on the other hand, constituting the ingestion of alcoholic beverages (alcoholism) a cultural problem.
