New approaches to Social Control: Processes and methods based on the Prevention of organized crime

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the topic related to new approaches to Social Control: processes and methods based on the prevention of organized crime. The classic discussions of academics have been surpassed to the same extent that new perspectives, approaches and categories are introduced, under the pressure of unprecedented social realities. The alteration of the quality of the criminal act, the inefficiency of state agencies in criminal matters, the generalization of the fear of violence, the perception of impunity, among other phenomena, have placed issues such as privatization, informalization, deregulation, among others, at the center. To achieve the objective, a traditional or narrative review was carried out that consisted of an exhaustive search and analysis of the literature on the topic, including both classic works and recent scientific articles, highlighting bibliometric research and systematic reviews as categories of documentary research, with its own explicit methods and whose current trend is, mainly, the online search or in academic databases present on 2.0 platforms, without excluding the possibility of analyzing printed documents not digitized to date, as is still done in some disciplines. of the social sciences. For this reason, not everything is written about this ancient figure, since they are decantations that the doctrine develops from the inductive examination of the different penal institutions, sometimes expanded and consolidated by comparative criminal law.
