Introduction: Judicialization of social problems and governance of security in comparative perspectives
Keywords:
Judicialization, criminalization, social control, governance, judicialización, criminalización, control social, gobernanzaAbstract
This special issue is composed by six papers whose first versions were presented at the Oñati workshop Social Control, Judicialization of Social Problems and Governance of Security in Comparative Perspectives held at the IISL in July 2019. They are preceded by this introduction, where we contextualize the development of social control studies, pointing how they were originally framed as criminalization in the Global North and how the new millennium brought us an increasing number of studies discussing both criminalizations (in the plural!) and forms of judicialization and governance operating through regulatory, administrative, civil and hybrid legal regimes. By putting together articles about different contexts and jurisdictions into conversation, we hope to illuminate how legal orders (State-based or not) are mobilized to govern security and social problems, creating more nuanced categories and analytical tools to help thinking and resisting to penalization processes of any kind, anywhere, anytime.
Este número especial está compuesto por seis trabajos cuyas primeras versiones fueron presentadas en el workshop de Oñati Social Control, Judicialization of Social Problems and Governance of Security in Comparative Perspectives, celebrado en el IISJ en julio de 2019. Están precedidos por esta introducción, donde contextualizamos el desarrollo de los estudios de control social, señalando cómo se enmarcaron originalmente como criminalización en el Norte Global y cómo el nuevo milenio nos trajo un número creciente de estudios que debaten tanto sobre criminalizaciones (¡en plural!) como sobre formas de judicialización y gobernanza que operan a través de regímenes legales regulatorios, administrativos, civiles e híbridos. Al poner en conversación artículos sobre diferentes contextos y jurisdicciones, esperamos arrojar luz sobre cómo se movilizan los órdenes legales (basados en el Estado o no) para gobernar los problemas sociales y de seguridad, creando categorías más matizadas y herramientas analíticas que ayuden a pensar y resistir a los procesos de penalización de cualquier tipo, en cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento.
