This article explores the construction of the category of youth criminal responsibility by community operators from a heterogeneous set of institutions, which worked with a Referral Centre of Buenos Aires province since 2015. In that center, alternative measures to deprivation of liberty are implemented towards young people of 16 and 17 years old who committed crimes. In-depth interviews and discourse analysis allow to unravel the cultural matrices which frame the socio-community intervention strategies and their influence in the identity configuration of the young people. Some results of the study allow to affirm that within the framework of the alternative intervention to deprivation of liberty the socio-juridical category of juvenile criminal responsibility is constructed in a reintegrative and stigmatizing way, intermittently, from discourses of different levels of morality that operate on the basis of “subjective responsibility” strategies. |
