SERRANO SANTOS, María Laura. Youth and police. Runa [online]. 2021, vol.42, n.1, pp.159-174.  Epub 21-Abr-2021. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v42i1.8517.

This article is part of a doctoral research in which I focused my interest in investigating the socialization processes of young people living in urban places of poverty and violence, having as one of the main axes, the relationships between the young people with the police. The vicissitudes of fieldwork led me to reflect on the challenges and emotional management involved in anthropological work. In this article I present the reflections derived from the ethnographic experience with the young people, and I present some of the findings in the investigation of the daily interactions with the police, assuming them as territorial agent of the State with direct implications in the configuration of youth subjectivities in contexts of urban poverty and violence.

Palabras clave : Youth; Police; Enclaves; Poverty; Urban violence.
