| Sumario: | This article addresses the strengthening of local governments as actors of security policies in the field of crime prevention in Argentina. Based on an ethnographic investigation in two local councils of the Buenos Aires suburbs, it analyzes both representations and practices of local authorities committed to crime fighting. The first part reconsiders the failure of the democratization of security policies and the formulation of a crime prevention public policy by the federal government in 1999. Hence, in that context, reaching out to local councils to implement social measures to prevent delinquency made sense; appearing, however, as a solution by default, whose main objective was to break police monopoly in crime prevention and repression. The second part shall analyze how this program was put into practice by two local governments with diverging characteristics. It will show how these local actors embrace social prevention measures, submitting them to their own priorities, yet without setting them at the core of local public action. |
