To do so, it focuses on the judicial processes faced by boys accused of committing crimes in the city of La Plata between 1938 and 1942. From these purposes, it warns that these documents illuminate the way in which the judicial agents evaluated the behaviors and moralities of boys, girls, young people and their families, as well as the tactics of those who were configured as denouncers and denounced. In the same way, it assures that a reading against the grain of the files offers clues to analyze the construction of young people from popular sectors as a social problem through the prism of their daily practices, their identities and their conflictive coexistence in neighborhood spaces. El artículo propone reflexionar sobre las dificultades que conlleva el análisis histórico de los expedientes judiciales del primer Tribunal de Menores que funcionó en la Argentina, tanto como destacar sus potencialidades a la hora de comprender la vida cotidiana en escenarios pretéritos. Para ello, pone el foco sobre los procesos judiciales afrontados por varones acusados de cometer delitos en la ciudad de La Plata datados entre 1938 y 1942. Desde estas finalidades advierte que estos documentos iluminan el modo en que los agentes judiciales evaluaban los comportamientos y moralidades de niños, niñas, jóvenes y sus familiares, tanto como las tácticas de quienes se configuraban como denunciantes y denunciados. Del mismo modo, asegura que una lectura a contrapelo de los expedientes ofrece indicios para analizar la construcción de los jóvenes de sectores populares como un problema social desde el prisma de sus prácticas cotidianas, sus identidades y su convivencia conflictiva en los espacios barriales.
