Losers and The Judicial Family

This thesis attempts to explore, from a sociological perspective, the instrumentation of law by judicial operators in the context of the reform of the Buenos Aires penal system in 1997. This is a field of political and symbolic dispute that is extremely important for the current situation but which has been neglected by intellectuals in our country. From here, we will dive specifically into the daily experience of those who are the operators in charge of implementing the law in the reform. We will distinguish different levels of action that set in motion the Reform of the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Province of Buenos Aires in 1997. This is seen as the result of a backwardness and constant increase in the inefficiency of the administration of justice, officially foreseen in 1995, when the drafting commission of the bill was created.
