Abstract

Social crime inclusion and prevention programs oriented to young people have been applied in Argentina since early 2000s, in order young people at “risk” to build a “project of life” around educational, work and affective inclusion. In parallel, studies on young sociability within inequality contexts show this conflictive relationship with the police to be a central problem in their daily lives. This article discusses on the limitations of these programs, intended to protect young people, at the moment of tackling such relationship, from the analysis of data from qualitative research between 2007 and 2016 carried out in Buenos Aires.

Keywords:
