Abstract
For UNDP (2016), human development consists in "the creation of an environment in which people can develop their maximum potential and lead a productive and creative life according to their needs and interests". It requires the satisfaction of certain basic needs: health, education, food, housing with minimum services, an adequate income to cover them, and a freedom to express ideas and convictions.However, not only the latter is necessary for this development, violence in all its forms - intrafamiliar, of the common law (robbery, injury, homicide, property crime, kidnapping and rape), gender violence, violence generated by illicit activities (drug trafficking, fuel theft (gasoline, gas) - also directly decreases in individuals that desired human development.Among the many factors that can affect the integral human development of the individuals within a society, lack of education becomes one of these factors in all its current aspects, schooled and not schooled.The importance of this factor is such that the UNDP (2016) in its Sustainable Development Goal (SDO) for education, indicates that "... education is one of the most powerful and proven engines to guarantee sustainable development". Based on these ideas, we have taken up a research hypothesis, in which we propose to review the relationship between violence and education and verify that the latter is a mitigating factor that allows an integral human development.Violence reduction in a society, implies the presence, among other factors, of two triggers, economic and educational. The latter is for us one of the factors of study, which we consider essential to reduce violence and generate an integral human development.This research aims to prove that a higher level of education in a society results in lower levels of violence and greater integral human development. Our study society is formed by the inhabitants of the state of Oaxaca in Mexico; It includes a period of study from 2009 to 2017. This work will show the first results for this relation.

Highlights
It is estimated that annually "more than 1.4 million people lose their lives due to violence
We argue that the economic income factor is responsible for this increase; since we think that among other factors, education is fundamental, to reduce, to some extent, violence, and [a consequence of it, seclusion] (Dammer, 2010)
We believe that a society with a basic and informed education reduces individual and social violence to some extent, and that it can have significant repercussions such as loss of freedom
Summary
It is estimated that annually "more than 1.4 million people lose their lives due to violence. The correlation between these variables and total crimes are relatively strong, R = 0.681 and R = 0.635, respectively. The relationship studied between these two variables explains a part of the behavior of violence in this society, so this initial analysis must be complemented with others to achieve a broader understanding of this problem These first results allowed us to obtain the following conclusions. A quality basic education will reduce the current educational gap and the incidence of crime in this society, reducing at the same time, as indicated by the WHO, the high costs of care that its combat represents and consequences such as imprisonment
