FERNANDEZ, Mariana Cecilia. What young people think about criminal punishment in Buenos Aires, Argentina (2015). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.339-369. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.17215.
The objective of this study is to account for the discourses of youth in juvenile detention centers about punishment in jail and punishment when they are free. The analysis is produced through a case study from a Referral Centre located in Buenos Aires province in 2015. The authors use a qualitative methodological approach that involves in-depth semi-structured interviews and discourses are analyzed based on seeing criminality through a cultural perspective. The results of the study allow us to affirm that young people perceive alternative measures as a preferable punishment to being confined in a juvenile detention centre, not just because it is inefficient in achieving its goal of re-socialization, but also because of the high level of stigmatization associated with criminal imprisonment.
