estado peligroso

Spanish to English Social Sciences Law (general)
A footnote to an essay about Argentina's role in the International Penitentiary Congress:
Aunque pareciera exagerada esta conclusión, Paz Anchorena lamentaba en los años treinta que la biblioteca de la CIPP en Suiza solo conservaba, provenientes de nuestros país, los estudios de legislación de estado peligroso. Los acuses de recibo de literatura argentina especializada indican que los envíos fueron constantes, entre los que se encuentran los Códigos penales, diversos reglamentos provisorios y memorias de las prisiones del país, además de varios títulos vinculados a la criminología, el derecho penal y la medicina legal. Ignoramos si en los años posteriores este déficit bibliográfico se sostuvo

When I googled "estado peligroso" a great many clearly legal hits come up, which is not the case for "dangerous state" (it appear more general). Thanks

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Yvonne Gallagher

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Selected

(studies into legislation) on persons at risk / in a perilous state

We need to decide whether it is the estudios or legislation that is at risk or persons who end up in a 'perilous state'.

Being at risk personally, so susceptible and liable to cause a risk to others in an anti-social campaign: surely it's a bit of both. From my experience, Sandinistas who set fire to an industrial factory are not at inherent risk from anything themselves, except from being caught for arson after the event.

Here is how the second ref. goes on and includes mendigos and mendigas.

Peer comment(s):

agree Meridy Lippoldt : My research indicates that the reference to estado peligroso relates to the delinquent who remains at risk of committing criminal behavior. A Google search for el estado peligroso en argentina took me to a link where the concept is extensively discussed.

unsafe conditions

On 'DeepL Translator', alternative suggestions to translate 'estado peligroso' were ' dangerous state', 'hazardous state' and 'unsafe condition'.
Example sentence:

Aunque pareciera exagerada esta condición, se lamentaba en los años treinta que en la biblioteca en Suiza sólo se conservaba, provenientes de nuestro país, los estudios de legislación de estado peligroso.

Although this condition may seem to be exagerated, it was lamented that in the 1930s, in a Swiss library, only those studies about legislation on unsafe conditions, which originated from our country, were conserved (stored with care).

Page 134 - 135
The rationale in the original draft legislation submitted to Congress by the executive branch (12) notes that the purpose of the measure is to preserve the physical and mental integrity of drug users, achieve the recovery of drug users and safeguard security and the public order. In the editing of the text, references to
the “dangerousness” of the person or the use of the term “compulsory in-patient treatment” have been eliminated. Yet while explicit references to the paradigm of ***social defense and dangerous states*** that appear in legislation from the 1930s and 1940s have been replaced by less hygienist language, the spirit of the text is maintained. By appealing to the need to protect drug users’ health, the draft legislation aims to create a harsh and punitive social control mechanism that targets people who use illegal drugs (Sbrocca, 2013). Or, at least, people who the team of doctors and police who make up the consortium consider to be included within the highly indeterminate language of Article 1: “problem users in a crisis situation who constitute a risk to themselves or others.” The draft legislation allows for “involuntary in-patient treatment” for adults and refers to the Code for Children and Adolescents (Código de la Niñez y la Adolescencia, CNA) for those under age 18, which allows
the judge to order “compulsory in-patient treatment” with a medical request. The legislation on children and adolescents uses the term “compulsory in-patient treatment” to refer to inpatient treatment ordered by a judge on the basis of a medical report, while the draft legislation approved by the Senate uses the term “involuntary treatment” to refer to the medical action authorized by a judge after a person is detained in a public or private place in circumstances that are considered to merit the intervention of the Public Health Consortium.

12 The text approved by the Senate has undergone variations in editing. It is interesting to note some passages of the version submitted by the executive branch, which maintained almost word for word the language of Article 40 of DL
14.294 for compulsory treatment, which says that persons “found in the public thoroughfare or in uninhabited public or private places in circumstances leading to the assumption that they have used narcotic substances or that they just did so, or possess them for their personal use, when such circumstances pose a danger to themselves or to third parties, can be taken immediately to the Assistance Center designated by the Executive Branch for this purpose. The person can only be taken by personnel responsible for the System for Assistance to Victims of Narcotic Drug Use.” The text approved by the Senate repeals Article 40 of that law.

The original quote apparently comes from a paper entitled "El trabajo de los penados argentinos"...

El trabajo de los penados argentinos alrededor del mundo. Eusebio Gómez en el IX Congreso Penitenciario Internacional (Londres, 1925)*

Convict labor around the world. Eusebio Gómez in the Ninth International Penitentiary Congress (London, 1925)

Resumen: Este trabajo pretende analizar la participación de la delegación argentina en el IX Congreso Penitenciario Internacional, realizado en Londres durante 1925. Focalizaremos principalmente en la presentación de Eusebio Gómez, director de la Penitenciaría Nacional (1923-1928). En este sentido, haremos un breve repaso en las participaciones previas de Argentina en el célebre evento, presentando sus lineamientos principales. La presentación de Gómez en el célebre evento revela la compleja relación entre la clasificación de penados, las ideas positivistas y el trabajo en las prisiones. Este artículo argumenta que en un momento de hegemonía de la criminología positivista, las ideas de los penitenciaristas se desarrollaron a traves de prácticas, procedimientos e intereses específicos. Palabras clave: Congreso Penitenciario Internacional, Eusebio Gómez, Penitenciaría Nacional, trabajo penitenciario.

Abstract:
This article analyzes the participation of the Argentine delegation in the IX International Penitentiary Congress, celebrated in London during 1925. We will focus on the report presented by Eusebio Gómez, the director of Buenos Aires National Penitentiary [Penitenciaría Nacional de Buenos Aires] (1923-1928). In this sense, we will make a brief overview about the previous Argentinian participations in the event. The report presented by Gómez in the congress reflects the complex relationship between convict classification, positivist ideas, and prison work. This article argues that in the hegemonic context of positivist criminology, the penitentiary ideas as developed as usual through specific practices, proceedings, and interests. Keywords: International Penitentiary Congress, Eusebio Gómez, Penitenciaría Nacional, convict labor.

Page 259: At the center of the new consensus about social control were the interlocking doctrines of "social defense" and "dangerousness" (estado peligroso). ... An individual was said to be in a state of "dangerousness" when, by his or her psychic condition or acquired habits, he or she was likely to commit a crime, or more generally, to exhibit some degree of 'antisocial behaviour'.

The very ambiguity and open-ended nature of the concept of "dangerousness" gave criminologists reason to apply it to a growing number of anomalies and subjects.
