- Title
Tutela, coacción y castigo: Policía y trabajos forzados en obras públicas en Buenos Aires (1782-1828).
- Authors
Agustina Vaccaroni, María
- Abstract
The objective of the article is to explore the dynamics established between prisoners dedicated to forced labor in public works in Buenos Aires and police authorities in the organization of said punishment. Analyzing the involvement of these agents allows us to illuminate another police task, of a punitive type, that remains to be examined by the historiography of the subject, especially in the transition from the 18th to the 19th century. We address this problem from a wide range of sources to unravel how the former regimental police tutelary matrix enabled a corrective activity on the inmates linked to work compulsion.
