QUINTANA NAVARRETE, Miguel. The discursive construction of crime prevention in Mexico 2006-2009. Perf. latinoam. [online]. 2013, vol.21, n.42, pp.55-78. ISSN 0188-7653.
This study analyzes the discursive construction of crime prevention in Mexico during the first half of Felipe Calderón's presidency. The characteristics of different subjects and objects - as well as the relations between them- created and represented in the official discourse are distinguished. The analysis reveals the neo-conservative axiological basis of crime prevention, and the way its tenets are "operationalized" in order to articulate them to everyday experience. The findings provide empirical support to contemporary criminological theories and concepts, mainly the notions of "criminologies of the self" and "criminologies of the other", and reveal the discursive construction of a distinct type of crime prevention based on the family.
