RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ, Carmen Graciela. La niñez abandonada y delincuente en las dos primeras décadas del Siglo XX: Camino a la ley Agote. Rev. hist. derecho [online]. 2012, n.44, pp.177-200. ISSN 1853-1784.

In the first two decades of the twentieth century, we can observe how the problem of the abandoned children who have broken the law becomes of great social interest and we can also observe how the charity institutions and judicial entities have a strong commitment trying to solve this serious problem by means of different criteria. There is a strong doctrinarian exhortation to change the judicial and sociological criteria used to analyze the facts about precocious delinquency, carrying out some preventive steps which led to both legislative projects about this subject. This research, explains the situation of children during that period, the social difficulties they had or the conflicts in which they were protagonists and the facts that determined their entrance to corrective institutions. This research also analyzes the origin and development of this state-paternal conception, strictly tutelary, having only one jurisdiction and with public and pedagogical assistance which conducted the evolution of the rights of childhood in later periods.
