GALAR, Santiago. The security agenda under review: shocking cases, issues and public problems in Argentina's democratic period (1983-2016). Sociohistórica [online]. 2016, n.37, pp.07-10. ISSN 1852-1606.

The analysis integrates reconstructions of shocking cases in the register of public action with a review of research from social sciences presenting dimensions of violent death and problems related to national security agenda. As a point of arrival we emphasize the capacity that currently expresses insecurity to absorb and integrate dimensions, a problem which it is constituted as a privileged cultural script for the understanding of violence, which synthesizes social meanings of risk and serves as a platform for political demand for large segments of the public
