Discriminación por motivos de pobreza y su persecución criminalizada: Una visión desde la aporofobia

Abstract

Abstract:This end-of-degree project was created with the purpose of knowing and analyzing why poverty is criminalized in our country, based on the determination of certain classes or social strata, as marginal, or that they are attributed the status of criminal, and finally dangerous.Thus, it is also intended to demonstrate, how through a political discourse, poverty can be directly assumed as a synonym of danger, crime, which concludes in identifying the members of this marginalized social group as criminals, dangerous, or simply as an enemy of the state, which it is necessary to persecute, corner and therefore punish, to try to stop crime, at the cost of violating the state of a social group.In question, the objective of this project is to demonstrate how hegemonic power, imperialist ideals, even the media influence identifying and creating an analogy and I dare to say synonymous with poverty = crime, based on elitist, oppressive contexts,justified by the term called National Security.
