Juvenile penal regime: An analysis of law projects

Abstract

In this article we will analyze the field of dialogue regarding the lowering of the age of punishment in the legal setting in Argentina. We will rebuild the discursive formations, which are presented in the law projects with an entry date between the years 2017 and 2019 and whose objective is to modify the Juvenile penal Regime. In this sense, the guiding questions are formulated based on certain concerns about the relationship between youth and security, that is how these key-signifiers are articulated and co-constituted in a process of discursive disputes.
