  • Colonialism and Penality

    Open AccessLuiz Dal Santo, Vijay Raghavan et al.ARTICLECritical Criminology2026

    This special issue is the result of a collective effort sustained over time and across borders, seeking to generate dialogue around the production and circulation of knowledge on penality in the global peripheries.This endeavour intentionally seeks to decentre the descriptive and interpretative frameworks concerning the penal past and present that have been constructed around the processes and dynamics of central contexts.Such frameworks have not…

  • Hacia una cartografía de las prácticas y luchas en torno a la transparencia de las prisiones en Argentina

    Open AccessMáximo Sozzo, JD Máximo SozzoARTICLECrítica Penal y Poder2026

    Argentina ha experimentado un fuerte aumento de la población carcelaria en las últimas décadas. En este contexto, algunos problemas de larga data de la vida carcelaria, como el hacinamiento y las malas condiciones de vida, se han agravado hasta alcanzar niveles críticos. Sin embargo, en este sombrío panorama se ha producido un fenómeno paradójico. En particular en algunas jurisdicciones argentinas, se han multiplicado y expandido los actores y la…

  • Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), knowledge provision and criminal justice reform in Latin America

    Open AccessMáximo SozzoARTICLETheoretical Criminology2025Referencias: 5

    This paper explores the role of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in criminal justice reform in Latin America, often described, in a relatively simplistic way, as the shift from an ‘inquisitorial model’ to an ‘adversarial model’. Such shift is one of the most drastic changes that the penal field has undergone in the region in the past four decades. This transformation has NGOs among its crucial actors, with a strong level of influence as know…

  • Punishment in Latin America

    Luiz Dal Santo, Máximo SozzoBOOKPunishment in Latin America2024

    Challenging the Northern-centric approach that has dominated the literature on punishment-and-society, this collection draws on innovative theoretical perspectives to make sense of punishment, penal trends, institutions and practices in peripheral settings, taking Latin American countries as its case studies.

  • Decolonizing the Criminal Question

    Open AccessAna Aliverti, Henrique Carvalho et al.BOOKDecolonising the Criminal Question2023

    This collection engages with debates within ‘criminology’ about matters of colonial power, which have come to be conceptualized through the language of ‘decolonization’. It explores the uneasy relationship between the ‘criminal question’ and colonialism, and foregrounds the relevance of the legacies of this relationship to criminological enquiries. It invites and seeks to pursue a better understanding of the links between imperialism and colonial…

  • Policía, sectores populares y pandemia Covid19. Una exploración en la ciudad de Santa Fe

    Open AccessAngelina Sofía Rabuffetti, Máximo SozzoARTICLEDelito y sociedad. Revista de…2023

    En este trabajo se aborda en qué medida el trabajo policial en una zona urbana de sectores populares en la ciudad de Santa Fe cambió como consecuencia de la pandemia de COVID19 y las medidas gubernamentales tomadas al respecto durante los años 2020 y 2021 y si esto generó mutaciones en la manera en que se representa socialmente a las fuerzas policiales que tienen presencia en dicho territorio urbano —la Policía de la Provincia de Santa Fe y la Pr…

  • Introduction

    Open AccessLuiz Dal Santo, Máximo SozzoARTICLETheoretical Criminology2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    This introduction establishes the problem that the special issue addresses: punishment in global peripheries. Then, it justifies why analysing it is a timely task to examine such matters in the broader context of the growing debate on southernizing and decolonizing criminology, and more particularly, in punishment and society studies. Finally, the contents of the various articles comprised by this special issue and some of their common elements a…

  • Reading penalty from the periphery

    Open AccessMáximo SozzoARTICLETheoretical Criminology2023Citada por: 6Referencias: 4

    This article presents a critical reflection on the task of reading penality from the periphery, adding to several significant contributions in punishment and society studies. It explores the center/periphery, North/South differentiations and their uses in recent social theory as a useful tool for studying contemporary penality at a global scale. It argues that previous modes of analysis did not put relations of inequality, subordination and depen…

  • Inequality, welfare and punishment. Comparative notes between the Global North and South

    Open AccessMáximo SozzoARTICLEEuropean Journal of Criminology2022

    In this paper, I will describe how two strong connections between, on the one hand, income inequality and welfare generosity, and, on the other, punitiveness, have been built in both theoretical and empirical explorations in the contemporary comparative literature on the sociology of punishment. Then, I will point out the strong concentration of these explorations on national cases from the Global North as a potential limitation. From there, I wi…

  • Re-theorizing the progress of women in policing

    Open AccessK Carrington, Jess Rodgers et al.ARTICLETheoretical Criminology2022Citada por: 3Referencias: 14

    Women’s entry into policing, a traditionally masculine occupation, has been theorized almost entirely through a liberal feminist theoretical lens where equality with men is the end target. From this theoretical viewpoint, women’s police stations in the Global South established specifically to respond to gender violence have been conceptualized as relics from the past. We argue that this approach is based on a global epistemology that privileges t…

  • El «preso-emprendedor». Responsabilización y co-gobierno en la prisión de Punta de Rieles en Uruguay

    Open AccessFernando Avila, Fernando Antônio de Ávila et al.ARTICLEDelito y sociedad. Revista de…2022

    Este artículo se centra en el «preso-emprendedor» como agente en las relaciones de gobierno en una prisión de varones en Montevideo, Uruguay. Se trata de Punta de Rieles, una prisión atípica en la que la responsabilización de los presos juega un papel fundamental como estrategia de gobierno desplegada por las autoridades y agentes estatales para responsabilizar a los reclusos de desarrollar, con amplios niveles de autonomía, una gama abierta de a…

  • Re-teorizar el progreso de las mujeres en la policía

    Open AccessK Carrington, Jess Rodger et al.ARTICLEDelito y sociedad. Revista de…2022

    El ingreso de las mujeres a la policía, una ocupación tradicionalmente masculina, ha sido teorizada casi enteramente a través de los lentes teóricos del feminismo liberal donde la igualdad con los hombres es el objetivo final. Desde este punto de vista teórico, las comisarías de la mujer en el Sur Global creadas específicamente para responder a la violencia de género han sido conceptualizada como vestigios del pasado. Nosotros argumentamos que es…

  • Decolonizing the criminal question

    Open AccessAna Aliverti, Henrique Carvalho et al.ARTICLEPunishment & Society2021Citada por: 12Referencias: 29

    In the last years there has been a growing effort from different theoretical perspectives to interrogate critically the impact of colonialism in the past and present of institutions and practices of crime control, both at the central and peripheral contexts, as well as in the production of knowledge in the criminological field. In this feature piece we examine this debate. We offer a critical account of key themes and problems that emerge from th…

  • Women-led police stations

    Open AccessK Carrington, Máximo Sozzo et al.ARTICLEPolicing & Society2021Citada por: 5Referencias: 12

    When domestic violence was criminalised in countries like Australia, United States and United Kingdom, many saw this as a victory, as the state taking responsibility for violence against women. The problem was that its policing was delegated to a masculinised police force ill-equipped to respond to survivors of gender violence. Latin America took a different pathway, establishing women-led police stations designed specifically to respond to the s…

  • Peculiar responsibilization? Exploring a governing strategy in an atypical prison in the Global South

    Open AccessFernando Bastos De Avila, Máximo SozzoARTICLEPunishment & Society2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 10

    Based on an ethnographic study of “Punta de Rieles” prison in Uruguay, where more than 600 prisoners coexist with increased levels of autonomy in a relatively peaceful environment, and that heavily relies on responsibilization as a strategy of governance, we seek to contribute to the analysis of the characteristics and boundaries of responsibilization in prison settings beyond the Global North. Considering the strong link between responsibilizati…

  • The Prison and the Factory (40TH Anniversary Edition)

    Open AccessRichard Sparks, Máximo Sozzo et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology2020

    The publication of Melossi and Pavarini’s classic discussion of the origins of the penitentiary ironically coincided with a shift—especially in the United States but with profound reverberations elsewhere—towards an expansive, incapacitative model of incarceration. The republication of The Prison and the Factory offers an opportunity to reflect on some, perhaps, surprising, contradictory and unfinished aspects of the intervening decades, many but…
