PERDOMO, Martha Patricia. THE MILITARIZATION OF JUSTICE: A STATE RESPONSE TO SOCIAL PROTEST (1949-1974). anal.polit. [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.76, pp.83-102. ISSN 0121-4705.

This article aims to analyze the militarization of justice and state response to social protest in two periods in the history of Colombia's civil and military dictatorship (1949 - 1957) and the National Front (1958-1974). To do this, we study the evolution of military criminal justice in relation to two crucial aspects, namely, the criminalization of the strike as a political offense and the trial of civilians in military courts reasoned expressions of social discontent.

Keywords : Justice; militarization; history; Colombia.
