MARCON, Osvaldo Agustín. Penalización juvenil selectiva, prácticas educativas y estados guerreros. Postdata [online]. 2011, vol.16, n.1, pp.85-108. ISSN 1851-9601.

Cyclically reappears the discussion on how to manage situations of young people around whom a field of criminal conflict has been configurated. Multiple dimensions of it are not staged because usually priority is given to the legal-technical look. The use of punishment or penalty is baseless and has very different political implications. It is related to, inter alia, a given state model through educational policies. This is a warrior state, though not necessarily military in the traditional sense. The comparison between Athens and Sparta and, on the other hand, Aztecs and Guarani Indians can be helpful to illustrate this. Thus, penalty has dimensions not usually put on stage.

Palabras clave : State; Citizenship; Juvenile delinquency; Criminal responsibility; Minority.
