Abstract
CERBINO, Mauro and RODRIGUEZ, Ana. The Latin Kings Nation, Challenges to Rethink the National. Nómadas [online]. 2010, n.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.
Keywords : gangs; nation; Latin Kings; modernity; violence; symptom.
