    Can the Subaltern Speak in Criminology? Analysing the Production of Knowledge on Crimes of the Powerful in the 21st Century through Latin American Postcolonial Lenses
    (2021) Valdes-Riesco, Amalia
    Through postcolonial criminological lens, this article attempts to evidence the domination of knowledge in criminology of Crimes of the powerful in the Global North and Anglo-language countries, and whether this domination translates into an influence of knowledge in Latin America and the Caribbean in the 21st century. To address this, a scoping review search was developed to find research articles focused on Crimes of the powerful both globally and in Latin American countries, and a citation analysis performed on specific studies. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied as a search strategy. The results demonstrate that a high level of concentration exists in the production of knowledge of Crimes of the powerful studies in the Global North and Anglo-language countries compared to the Global South and non-Anglo-language countries, and also evidence the high level of influence of knowledge that Global North countries have on Latin American studies.

    Therapeutic jurisprudence and the desistance paradigm: Theoretical and practical convergences for social reintegration
    (2022) Droppelmann, Catalina; Valdes-Riesco, Amalia; Villagra, Carolina
    This paper discusses in theoretical and practical terms how the Desistance Paradigm offers a powerful and underexplored potential alliance with Therapeutic Jurisprudence, especially regarding the social reintegration of those who break the law. As such, this paper presents a description of the Therapeutic Justice and Desistance Paradigm, along with their main findings and theoretical scope, to then present a discussion of how these two approaches share a common horizon (which are not only limited to practices and techniques, but also to legal structures and procedures). Finally, it concludes with some future challenges for which the convergence of these two paradigms can offer fruitful developments within the criminal justice system.
