Individualization and Social Prevention of Crime in Argentina: the Revival of the "Dangerous Classes"
Abstract
Abstract
: The purpose of this article is to present some research advances about what has been conceptualized as processes of individualization in the “social” prevention of crime, based on a study of the ways in which poverty and crime are constructed in the confluence of Vulnerable Community Programs and Community Employment. In this way, based on a qualitative methodological focus that combines analysis of administrative documents and in-depth interviews with implementing agents, the article describes the tendency towards the construction of individualistic interventions, shifting the focus on changing living conditions as a method to prevent crime, and establishing a particular link between crime and poverty and in more general terms, between crime and living conditions.
