Main Article Content
Abstract
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.
