CERBINO, Mauro    RODRIGUEZ, Ana. The Latin Kings Nation, Challenges to Rethink the National. []. , 32, pp.117-133. ISSN 0121-7550.

Against the approaches of positivistic criminology and securitization perspectives, that reduce Latin Kings organization to a gang phenomenon, i.e., as a deviated juvenile group, this research inquires into the historical, social and cultural conditions that have allowed the emergence of this group, and its permanence in deeply unequal and excluding contexts.
