Abstract

The chilean public debate frequently employs the concept of "citizen security" in order to define the current criminal policy model. Likewise, experts state that this model faces new criminal realities and, therefore, new characteristics. Nevertheless, a comparison with former penal policies hasn't been drawn and the period of comparison hasn't been identified. The present article aims to show the common features of the political criminal discourse of the legislature during 1932-1973 and between 2000-2012, in order to reveal new elements which could contribute to the construction of a criminal policy with memory.
