Resumen
COZZI, Eugenia. “Coming to an agreement” and “work”: relationships between youth and police in Rosario, Argentina. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.433-452. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.17219.
The purpose of this article is to analyze the ways of interaction between young people from urban popular sectors who participate in illegal activities and the police. These young people constitute a social group that has traditionally been a particular target of police control and administration. Through ethnographies in urban neighborhoods in the city of Rosario between 2008 and 2015, the article seeks to identify dialogue between the youth and the police in the context of an asymmetrical power relation, which means that the young people are sometimes reproached by the police, other times they are approved and at times they are also supported. It concludes that the distinction between «working» and «coming to an agreement» with the police is essential. This difference accounts for multiple ways of interaction and describes police practices that are both legal and illegal, although they are not always considered to be illegitimate.
