Estas prácticas, que en general recayeron sobre hombres jóvenes de sectores populares, dieron lugar a protestas e incluso revueltas. Sin embargo, fuera del interés que estos episodios generan en periodistas y criminólogos, poco se sabe del accionar...

Description
¿Qué dice de nuestras sociedades el hecho de que en algunos países los muy ricos puedan vivir hasta quince años más que los muy pobres? ¿Por qué algunas vidas parecen valer más que otras? Como han demostrado las ciencias sociales en las últimas décadas, la duración de la vida y el estado de salud con el que las personas la transitan y la terminan no tienen que ver con condiciones "naturales", sino con los efectos de las distintas formas...

Usually these take place in disadvantaged neighborhoods composed of working-class families of immigrant origin or belonging to ethnic minorities.

"The prison is a recent invention, hardly more than two centuries old, yet it has become the universal system of punishment. How can we understand the place that the correctional system occupies in contemporary societies? What are the experiences of those who are incarcerated as well as those who work there? To answer these questions, Didier Fassin conducted a four-year-long study in a French short-stay prison, following inmates from their trial to...
