Abstract

This paper analyzes the main tensions that emerge when contrasting the institutionalization process of the Directorate of Alternative Measures to the Deprivation of Liberty of the Province of Mendoza and the daily evolution of its practices from 2015 to 2018. This adaptation of the institutional work to normative instruments that modulate the evolution of the juvenile criminal device has had, in the history of Alternative Measures in the Province of Mendoza, different moments of progress that reflected the operation of a juvenile criminal program adhered to the protection of the rights of adolescents in criminal proceedings and disputes over the materiality of the practices. The objective is to analyze and reflect on the existing vanishing points between the practices and the institution, to inquire about those moments in which it seems that the work becomes autonomous from the institution that originated it.
